Jar no. 2
(with ice cubes)
Ms. Gatdula was invited by a friend to visit her in Baguio City. Before leaving her home in Manila, she
instructed her helper to feed the fish in the aquarium during her absence.
It was May. The summer heat was almost unbearable. The helper was worried about the fish entrusted to her.
One very warm afternoon, she got a tray of ice cubes and put all of them into the aquarium. In just a short while, all
the fish in the aquarium died.
Anthony, a nephew of Ms. Gatdula, learned about the tragic incident. But he did not reprimand the helper
right away. He wanted to be sure of the cause of death of the fish. Here is what he did:
 He bought six fish of the same kind as those that had died. He kept them in the aquarium for two days.
 He got two large wide-mouthed glass jars of the same size. He labeled one “Jar no. 1” and the other “Jar no.
2”. He put the same amount of water in the jars, and three fishes in each jar, together with some aquarium
plants and pebbles.
 When the fishes have stayed in the jar for two
days, he put ice cubes in Jar no. 1.
 He observed that the fishes in Jar no. 1 died and

those in Jar no. 2 did not.

Process Questions:
1.Who are the main characters in the story?
2. What tragic incident occurred in the story?
3. What did Anthony suspect that might have caused this tragic incident?
4. What did Anthony do in order to prove his suspicion?
5. What did Anthony find out? Is his suspicion correct?

The teacher will also give additional inputs following the lesson.
Scientific Investigation - a step-by-step process that a scientists use to answer questions about the world.
Steps in a scientific investigation with a more detailed explanation:
a. Aim or Problem
This is the heart of your investigation. It's the question you want to answer through your experiment.
A good aim is:
 Clear and Specific: It should be a focused question about what you want to investigate. Don't try to answer
too many things at once.
 Answerable through an Experiment: The question should be something you can test by collecting data.

B. Materials and Equipment

 This is the list of tools and supplies you need to conduct your experiment.
 Safety: Choose materials that are safe to use and handle.
 Availability: Ensure the materials are readily available or easily obtainable.

C. Method or Procedures
 This is the detailed step-by-step plan for conducting your experiment. It outlines exactly what you will do to
test your aim.
A good method should be:
 Clear and Concise: Write specific instructions that are easy to understand and follow, even by someone else.
 Sequential: List the steps in the order they will
be performed.
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Region XI – Davao Region
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF DAVAO ORIENTAL
LUPON EAST DISTRICT
Marayag National High School

 Repeatable: The method should be written in a way that allows others to repeat your experiment and get
similar results.

D. Results including Data

This section documents the findings of your experiment. It includes all the information you collected during the
investigation.
Data can be presented in various ways:
 Observations: Detailed descriptions of what you saw, smelled, heard, etc., during the experiment.
 Measurements: Quantitative data collected using tools like rulers, thermometers, or scales.
 Tables and Charts: Organized presentations of your data for easier analysis.

E. Conclusions
 This is where you interpret your results and answer your initial question (aim).
 A good conclusion should be: o Based on Evidence: It should be derived directly from the data you collected
during the experiment.
 Explanatory: Explain what your findings mean in relation to your aim.

GROUP ACTIVITY:
Students Will be grouped into six. Groups 1, 2and 3 will work on the same activity, while Groups 4,5 and 6 will each
tackle a different activity, both aimed at solving a real-life problem using the steps of scientific investigation. They
will be provided with activity sheets that include detailed procedures and questions they need to follow. Students will
have 15 minutes to complete their answers and select a reporter to present their findings
EXPLAIN
PROBLEM 1: Increased plastic pollution is evident in marine environments, including oceans and coastal areas.
Finding practical applications of
Marine wildlife, such as fish, seabirds, and sea turtles, are frequently found with plastic debris in their stomachs or
concept and skills in daily living
entangled in plastic waste. There are also reports of health issues and deaths among these animals.
Possible Aim//Problem: How does plastic pollution affect the health of marine ecosystems?

PROBLEM 2: In Cordillera Province , a mountain area

with steep slopes and lots of different plants and
animals, there has been a lot of deforestation because
 Republic of the Philippines

of logging and farming. This area has always had landslides, especially when it rains a lot. Lately, it seems like there
are more landslides and they are getting worse in places where the forests have been cut down.
Possible Aim/ Problem: How does deforestation affect the occurrence and intensity of landslides in hilly or
mountainous areas?

After the presentations, the teacher will give feedback on the students' findings.

PICK A NUMBER GAME!

The teacher will organize a picture game activity where questions are written on the back of papers attached to the
board. Students who answer correctly will receive a reward.
