Making observation Involves the uses of our senses such as seeing, hearing, smelling, taste and touching. (i) Qualitative (descriptive) Example: water is a liquid, the sky is blue. (ii) Quantitative (with measurement) Example: water boils at 100 °C 2. Making inference (i) After make observation, often to try to interpret or explain them. (ii) Interpretations or explanation involve making inferences. 3, Identifying Problem (i Ask the question begin with: Why, Where, What, Which, When and How. (ii) During the process of making observations, will need to ask questions. Example: Why firecrackers explode when ignited? 4, Making a hypothesis Originates word from Greek. Hypothetical mean to propose or suppose. (i) To explain things, sometimes make guesses. A good guesses is called a hypothesis. (ii) A hypothesis is a possible explanation for an observation. (iii) Example: we observe that iron nails rust faster in wet areas than in dry areas. To explain this observation, we can say “we think the process of rusting needs water’. ‘This is your hypothesis. (iv] Hypothesis has to be tested to see if they are true by done: (a) making a prediction. (b) Doing an experiment to see if the prediction is true. Page 10 | upate: Jan 2011 [eikguadura.wordpress.com Modul Al-Kimiya Chap. 01 - Introduction to Chemistry 5. Identifying variables (i) During a scientific investigation, we need to decide what are we going to change of vary. (ii) The change is called the variables. (iii) We have to identify the manipulated, responding and fixed variables to test your hypothesis. 6. Controlling Variables (i) We must decide how to manipulate the variables we choose, what to measure and how to keep the fixed variable(s) constant. 7. Planning an Experiment (i) An experiment is carried out to test a hypothesis. (ii) This involves gathering new information that enables a scientist to decide the validity of the hypothesis. (iii) Experiment always produces new observations. (iv) When doing experiments we will learn to make observation and record our results. (v) While doing experiment we will need to do some or all of the following: (a) writing sentences about what we observe. (b) drawing diagrams of what we sce. (cl for measurements you can use tables, graphs or charts. (d) we need the suitable apparatus so that we can measure the things we want to measure or observe. 8. Collecting Data (i) Tithe data collected from observations and measurements made during experiment must be recorded systematically. 9, Interpreting data (i) The data must be organised and analysed. (ii) We can interpret our data using graphs, charts or by calculating. Page 11 | upate: Jan 2011 jeikguadura.wordpress.com Modul Al-Kimiya Chap. 01 - Introduction to Chemistry 10. Making Conclusion Conclusion is a statement made from experiment whether the hypothesis which we made is to be accepted or rejected. 11. Writing report Write report to communicate with other about our experiment 1.3: Scientific Attitudes And Noble Values A student is able to! ‘* identify scientific attitudes and values practised by scientists in carrying out investigations, + practise scientific attitudes and values in conducting scientific investigations 1. A chemist must inculcate scientific attitudes and noble values in all investigations. Scientific attitude: 1. Having an interest and curiosity towards the environments 2. Being honest and accurate in recording and validation data 3. Being diligent and persevering 4. Being responsible about the safety of oneself, others and the environment 5. Having critical and analytical thinking 6. Being flexible and open-minded 7. Being kind-hearted and caring 8. Being systematic 9. Being fair and just 10. Daring to try 11. Thinking rationally 12. Being confident and independent Page 12 | upate: Jan 2011 jeikguadura.wordpress.com Modul Al-Kimiya Chap. 01 - Introduction to Chemistry B. Noble value 1. 23 3, Realising that science is a means to understand nature Appreciating and practising a clean and healthy lifestyle Appreciating the balance of nature Being respectful and well-mannered Appreciating the contribution of science and technology Being thankful to god Page 13 | update: Jan 2011 [ellgguadura wordpress.com Modul Al-Kimiya Chap. 01 - Introduction to Chemistry Activity 1: Write the hypothesis, manipulated variable, respond variable and fixed variable. a Sun light Sun Light ror yore Batik Fabri Situation A Situation B Hypothesis Manipulated Variable Respond Variable Fixed Variable Leaf B.
