 OBSERVIN
G
means using your sense organs to
describe an object, an event, or a
natural phenomenon.

Scientists are keen observers. By observing,

you can be sure that you are getting the
correct and precise information.
 Qualitative
Observation
is a description of the property of an
object. Examples of qualitative
observation are "his hair is gray," or
"that building is tall," or "the mouse
runs fast.
 Quantitative
Observation
Describes an object’s property in
number and unit format. For
example, the temperature is 78
degrees Fahrenheit right now.
COMPARI

 COMPARIN
G
means determining which properties
are similar or different in objects or
situations being observed.
You can do it very easily by sorting objects
according to their similarities or graphing
your data. Putting your data in visual forms
such as charts, tables, or graphs will help
you see the relationship between the

Process of sorting and
grouping things based on
their similar characteristics.
It is a science process necessary in
finding patterns and trends, in
seeing relationships between and
 2 types of
classification
SINGLE-STAGE CLASSIFICATION - is
done by comparing and contrasting
information or objects based on one
observable characteristic.
 2 types of
classification
MULTI-STAGE CLASSIFICATION -
one by comparing and contrasting
information or objects based on two or
more observable characteristics. The
information is sorted into multiple
groups and levels
Our school organized an outreach
program. We visited the Philippine
Children's Medical Center Quezon City. We
brought boxes of supplies for the sick
children confined in the hospital. The
children were very happy. They showed
their appreciation to us through a short
program. We went home filled with happy
memories. We hope and pray that they get
better soon.

OMMUNICATING 03
 COMMUNICAT
ING
means giving and receiving
information. In science, the
results of on experiment are
communicated graphs, tables,
and charts by combining texts,
maps.
 Working with
Maps
MAP is a very useful tool for
communicating and pinpointing
landmarks, roads, and other physical
features of an area. It has scales,
legends or symbols, and directions to
communicate distance and location.
 Working with
Tables
TABLE serves to communicate
numerical information and
relationships between and
among data. The data can be
independent variables or
dependent variables.

 Working with
Graphs
Graphs show the connections
between pairs of data. Usually,
the information in a table are
graphed to show trends and to
aid in making predictions.

the following are the
given data pairs:

MEASURING 04

G
means comparing an unknown
quantity with a known, fixed, and
standard unit of quantity using an
appropriate measuring tool,
instrument, or device.
A measurement is composed of two
parts-the quantity and the unit of

It is a process skill learned through
practice. Predictions are based on a
series of observations and data
collection.
The more data you collect, the more
accurate your prediction becomes.
Moreover, the more regular the pattern

 INFERRING
An inference is a tentative explanation
regarding a set of observations.

Inferring is a science process skill that

requires keen attention to detail about
an object or o situation being observed.

The different science process skills
prepare you in doing an investigation.
Investigations in science are focused
toward determining cause-and-effect
relations between conditions, factors,
and variables.
 HYPOTHES
IS
Before attempting to conduct an
investigation, you need to state a
hypothesis. The hypothesis guides the
investigator on what data to collect and
how to collect them.

Hypothesis is a special kind of
prediction that forecasts how one
variable will affect another variable
expresses logical explanation that can be
tested. The If-then statement is often
used in stating a hypothesis.

WITH
VARIABLES
In any scientific investigation, the
variable that is deliberately changed is
known as the independent or
manipulated variable. The variable
that responds to that change is the
dependent or responding variable.
