1. INDEPENDENT
2. VARIABLE
3. DEPENDENT
4. CONTROLLED
5. EFFECT
OBJECTIVES:

- Recognize hypothesis in each given situation


- Identify different variables in a situation.
- Develop critical thinking skills and the ability
to evaluate variables.
Q1. WHAT IS A HYPOTHESIS?
Q2. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT
VARIABLES?
WHAT DO THESE TERMS MEAN?

1. SCIENTIFIC 5. HYPOTHESIS
2. PROBLEM DATA 6. CONCLUSION
3. Investigation 7. PROBLEM
4. Variable 8. APPLICATION
A. IDENTIFYING VARIABLES

Independent variables - are factors that are


manipulated or changed in an experiment
to observe their effect on other variables.
They are the variables that the
experimenter controls.
A. IDENTIFYING VARIABLES

Dependent variables - are the factors that


are measured or observed in an
experiment. They are the variables that are
affected by the independent variable.
A. IDENTIFYING VARIABLES
Example:
Experiment: Testing the effect of fertilizer
on plant growth.
Independent Variable: The amount of
fertilizer applied to the plants.
Dependent Variable: The height of the
plants.
B. HYPOTHESIS

Steps in Identifying hypothesis


1. Define the problem.
2. Determine variables.
B. HYPOTHESIS

Sample Scenario:

The pechay plants growing in nitrogen-rich


soils for two weeks develop larger leaves
than those in nitrogen-poor soils because
nitrogen stimulates vegetative growth.
Q3. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IN THE
SCENARIO?
Q4. What are the variables?
C. WRITING HYPOTHESIS

Writing hypothesis
1. Make an educated guess including
variables to solve the problem
2. Phrase it as an if-then statement
C. WRITING HYPOTHESIS

Example:
If pechay plants are grown in nitrogen rich
soils then it will develop larger leaves that
those planted in nitrogen-poor soils
because nitrogen stimulates vegetative
growth.
C. WRITING HYPOTHESIS

1. The bubble gum stain will be removed if


oil is used.
2. The bubble gum stain will be removed if
water is used.
3. The bubble gum stain will be removed if
ice is used.
C. WRITING HYPOTHESIS
Answer:
1. If oil is used, then the bubble gum stain
will be removed.
2. If water is used, then the bubble gum
stain will be removed.
3. If ice is used, then the bubble gum stain
will be removed.
GROUP ACTIVITY
GROUP 1
Manuel is a farmer. He noticed that there are mice
that were pests on their rice crops. Their harvest of
rice crops decreases. The supply of rice affected their
town. Which resulted, to a high price of rice. He uses
three steps. First, he mixed 20g bait phosphorus
material into the soil; second, he places a scarecrow
on the farm and lastly, he planted peppermint in
between the rice crops.
GROUP ACTIVITY
GROUP 2
Mary's mother is a "plantita". During the Pandemic, she
planted tomatoes. Because of lack of space, some
tomatoes were planted in the garden soil, while others
were on the small pots. She observed that her plant
growth and its fruits differ, although she planted them
simultaneously. The tomatoes planted on the garden
receives enough amount of sunlight. The tomatoes planted
on the pots were placed inside on their house. Both were
watered and were given same amount of fertilizers.
GROUP ACTIVITY
Group 3
During the Brigada Eskwela, teacher Mara is
cleaning her room. She mops the floor and cleans
the board and chairs. While cleaning, she noticed
bubble gum stains on the wall. She wanted to
remove the stain before she repainted the wall.
She tried to use oil, water and ice to remove the
bubble gum stain
GROUP ACTIVITY
Group 4
