Short Discussion
In the light of this definition, we can say that science has three interacting facets, namely:
knowledge, process skills and attitudes.
Knowledge is sometimes labeled as the products of science. It generally refers to facts, concepts,
principles, laws, and theories.
Process skills are the empirical and analytic procedures used by scientists in solving problems.
Competence in using these skills provide with the ability to apply knowledge not only to science and other
subject areas in the classroom but also to their daily lives outside the classroom. Once your students learn
to use the science process skills to solve problems, you can be sure that they will become lifelong learners.
For this reason, the science process skills have been called life- long learning skills.
Scientific attitudes refer to the general predispositions that characterize the work of scientists. Some of the
important attitudes students will have to learn and demonstrate in science include curiosity, honesty, objectivity,
openness, perseverance, skepticism, and withholding judgment.
Observing
We observe when we use one or more of our senses to find out about objects, events, or living things. An
observation is a fact learned directly though the senses.
Don’t just look - use more than your eyes
Use all of your senses
Fully describe what you sense – add details
Be sure to observe how things change (before, during, and after an event)
Inferring
We infer when we use what we already know to draw conclusions and figure out reasons for events that we
don’t witness.
Make an observation.
Think of several inferences as to what you are seeing.
Think of ways that you can find out which one is right.
Predicting/Hypothesizing
We predict (make hypotheses) when we make a forecast about what will happen in the future. The
prediction is based on what you already know and data that you have collected.
Make observations and measurements (collect data)
Look for patterns in what you have observed
Make a prediction based on what you know
Test your prediction to see if you are right
Make a new prediction if you are wrong
Classifying
We classify when we use observations to group objects or events according to how they are similar or
different.
What are the properties of the objects or events
Divide into two groups and then see if each group can be divided into smaller groups
Be sure to write down how you classified the objects or events so that you can tell someone else how you did it
_____________1. Ana use one or more of our senses to find out about objects, events, or living things
______________2. Tomi is always sure to use the right units and the right instrument to measure.
______________3. I write down how I classified the objects or events
______________4. They always think of ways so they can find out which one is right
______________5. Sam and I look for patterns in what we have observed from our observations and
measurements (collected data)

Short Discussion
Investigation is the heart of science. It is the way scientists do research. Scientific investigation is a way to find
answers to a question that will produce evidences that help you answer questions and solve problems. When the evidence
cannot provide answers or solutions then it may lead to new questions or problems for investigation. As more knowledge
are discovered, science advances.
Scientific Method
● The scientific method is a process that is used to find answers to questions about the world around us.
● The scientific method begins with the identification of a problem, or a question to be answered based on
observations of the world around us and provide an appropriate method for conducting and analyzing an
experiment.

Short Discussion
When you think of scientist at work, you probably imagine them in a modern laboratory with test tubes,
other delicate instruments, apparatus, and bottles of strange substances. You’re right. In the laboratory, you can
find several laboratory apparatus. Perhaps you are already familiar with some of them through your readings, or
from watching television or the movies or perhaps you have actually used them in your elementary science. Let us
familiarize ourselves with the different laboratory apparatus and their uses
Guide Question:
Why do we need to follow some safety precautions and procedural rules in the laboratory while doing the
experiment? 10pts

Short Discussion
A mixture is made up of two or more substances that are combined physically. The substances in the
mixture are observable and can be identified easily because they retain their own composition and
properties and can be easily separated through physical means. A mixture can be formed by mixing solid
with other solid, liquid with other liquid and solid with liquid.
Mixture can be classified as homogeneous (uniform) mixture and heterogeneous (non-uniform)
mixture. Homogeneous mixture is also called a solution since its composition is uniform all throughout and
is seen in a single phase. On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition
thus the individual substances can be identified or remain distinct
Directions: Given the illustrations below, tell whether it is a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture. Put a
check mark for HM and a cross mark if it is homogeneous if it is heterogeneous.
