Quarter 2, Self-Learning Kit Week 5-8

GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Read each item carefully and answer each correctly.
I. Read each sentence/phrase of description/definition. Identify the correct idea from
the word box.

Qualitative data Detergent Smears

Experimental set-up Cross-reference Science project
Data analysis Entries Experimental procedure
Dependent variable Legible Habitat
Independent variable Project data log book Quantitative data

1. A step-by-step recipe for your science experiment. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP

2. Descriptions of the dependent variable, such as color, or sound and can also be a simple “yes-or-no”
observation about whether something happens, such as whether a plant grows. QUALITATIVE DATA
3. Something written down as part of a list or record. ENTRIES
4. An educational activity involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science
disciplines. SCIENCE PROJECT
5. Are expected to change as a result of an experimental manipulation of the independent variable or
variables. DEPENDENT VARIABLE
6. Variable that is stable and unaffected by the other variables you are trying to measure. INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE
7. Describes how the experiment was done and the instruments used in this section. EXPERIMENTAL
PROCEDURE
8. An instruction to look somewhere else in the same book for related information. CROSS-REFERENCE
9. Capable of being read or deciphered. LEGIBLE
10. Are numerical measurements of the dependent variable, include measurements of size, mass,
frequency, temperature, time, rate, and many other factors. QUANTITATIVE DATA
11. Powerful cleansers that can break up dirt, oils and grease in clothing or on dishes. DETERGENT
12. To stain, smudge, or dirty. SMEARS
13. The place or environment where a plant or animal naturally or normally lives and grows. HABITAT
14. A method in which data is collected and organized so that one can derive helpful information from it.
DATA ANALYSIS
15. Used to record your daily activity from the very first thing you do in starting the project, the
competition of the effort. PROJECT DATA LOG BOOK
II. If the statement is true, write T. If it is false, replace the italicized word/s with the
word/s that will make the statement true.

16. Your lab notebook will be a sequential record of your project, so the dates are
important. T
17. Make your lab notebook entries in pencil. PEN
18. If something is wrong on a page, or if you discover an accidental blank page, simply put
a large “X” through the area or page, signalling that it should be ignored. T
19. No need to date your lab notebook entries. ALWAYS
20. Folding the pages of your lab notebook helps keep your notebook organized.
NUMBERING
21. Your lab notebook entries should be entered discontinuously, starting at the front of
the notebook. CONSECUTIVELY
22. Be sure to throw loose papers in your lab notebook. SECURE
23. Do not take the chance that you will remember all of the details to record at a later
date. T
24. As you get in a routine of documenting your research and experiment every day, using
your scratch paper will become an important part of how you navigate a science or
engineering project. LAB NOTEBOOK
25. The logbook should contain all activities performed by the team members. T
26. Keep the lab notebook with you and make your entries on the spot. T
27. Full sentences are not required. Every scientist develops her own style of
recordkeeping. T
28. Your lab notebook entries should be legible. T
29. Creating a table of contents in your logbook may be optional but may help keep your
notes and records organized. T
30. Do not remove pages of your logbook. T
