LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET No.1

The Scientific Problem

I. Background Information for Learners

A scientific problem is a question that you have that can be answered via an experiment. However,
not all problems that you have are scientific problems. That is because not all questions can be
answered with an experiment. For example, the problem of trying to know which is more deliscious,
potato chips or potato fries? is not a scientific problem, since you do not need to conduct an experiment
to find the answer. But the problem of trying to figure out how fast a population of cats can grow is a
scientific problem as you can conduct an experiment on a population of cats to observe and record just
how fast they reproduce. You can then use your information and any patterns that you find to find your
answer.
