CHAPTER 1
Scientific Method

Introduction:
At the core of biology and other sciences lies a problem-solving approach called the
scientific method. Scientific method has 7 basic steps (Fig.1):
1. Ask a question
2. Do Background Research
3. Construct a hypothesis
4. Experiment
5. Data Analysis
6. Conclusion
7. Communicate result

Figure 1. Scientific Method

Instruction:
1. Open the simulation of photosynthesis experiment (Virtual lab 1) in the following
link:
http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/virtual_labs/LS12/LS12.html
2. Do the virtual lab simulation of photosynthesis experiments
3. Complete the data
4. After you finish first virtual lab, you can try virtual lab 2

Note:
Calculate the percent (%) reduction in yield for each seed variety. To calculate the %
reduction in yield for one seed variety:

(avg. yield no infest. – avg. yield high infest.)/avg. yield no infest. X 100 =
% reduction in yield

Record this data in Table 2 of the Lab Worksheet.

Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis media pembibitan yang mampu mendukung
peningkatan kualitas bibit jamur tiram putih lebih baik, dan mengetahui pengaruh macam
media bibit terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil jamur tiram putih. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di
Ngemplak, Nanggulan, Kulon Progo, Daerah Istimewa Jogjakarta dengan ketinggian tempat
300 m dpl. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah faktor tunggal macam media pembibitan,
dalam Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), terdiri atas 4 perlakuan, yaitu : media bibit dengan
serbuk kayu sengon, biji sorghum, biji jagung, dan biji padi dengan 3 ulangan. Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media bibit biji sorghum dan biji jagung mampu mendukung
peningkatan kualitas bibit jamur tiram putih yang lebih baik dibandingkan dari media biji
padi dan serbuk gergaji sengon. Bibit pada media substrat biji sorghum, jagung, padi dan
serbuk gergaji sengon memberikan pertumbuhan jamur tiram putih yang sama. Hasil jamur
tiram putih lebih baik pada bibit dengan media substrat biji sorghum, jagung, padi berturut –
turut.
Kata kunci: Jamur tiram putih (Pleurotus ostreatus), media pembibitan (serbuk gergajian
sengon, biji sorghum, biji jagung, biji padi).

Abstract
The goal of this experiment was to know ability improving quality of white oyster mushroom
seed and to know the effect of kind seedling medium on the growth and yield of white oyster
mushroom. The experiment has been done in Ngemplak, Nanggulan, Kulon Progo, Jogjakarta
Special Territory, at height of 300 m the sea surface level. The experimental design used the
single factor kind of seedling medium arranged Completely Randomized Design (CRD), that
shown by four treatments that were seedling medium with sengon sawdust, sorghum seed,
corn seed, rice seed repetited three times. The experiment result showed that sorghum and
corn seed medium were ability to increasing quality of white oyster mushroom seed better
than of rice seed and sengon sawdust. The substrate medium of sorghum seed, corn seed, rice
seed and sengon sawdust gave the same growth of white oyster mushroom. The yield of
white oyster mushroom was better on the sorghum seed, corn seed, rice seed substrate
medium respectively.
Keywords: White Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), Seedling Medium (sengon
sawdust, sorghum, corn, rice)
