Word hunt
What do you consider when buying a pair of shoes? Find your answers in the
word box. Then, write them in the given space below.
31
The factors that you consider before buying the shoes are what we call
variables. In this lesson, you will learn the different kinds of variables and how
to identify variables in scientific experiments.
For example, you want to know what color of bird feeders your local birds
prefer.
Problem: What color of bird feeder will the birds visit the most?
If you want to determine whether the color of the feeder has an effect, your
hypothesis should be: “If I put up red, blue, and green bird feeders, the birds
will visit the green feeder the most.” You might speculate that the green
feeder, being the most “camouflaged” or “natural” might be visited the most.
32
An experimental
design showing the
variables will serve
as a guide before
conducting an
experiment.
Since you want to know what color of bird feeders your local birds prefer, the
location of the feeders, the kind of feeds, and the amount of feeds placed are
the controlled variables.
The color of the bird feeder (red, blue, and green) is the tested variable because
it is the one you are manipulating or changing in the experiment.
You will know which color of bird feeders the birds will be visiting the most by
measuring the amount of feeds left. It is the responding variable. The fewer the
feeds, the more birds visited the feeder. It responded when you change the
colors of the bird feeder.
Always remember that the responding variable should be observable or
measurable.

Let’s Try!
Harry wanted to find out what soil works best for growing roses. He planted
them outside of his yard in different potting soil such as clay, sand, and loam.
After one week, he measured the height of his plant.

1. Formative Assessment
1. Different flower bushes were grown in a greenhouse for one month. The
number of flowers on each bush was counted at the end of the
experiment.
3. Sarah would like to know which detergent works better in removing the
coffee stain on a cotton shirt. She used detergent X and detergent Y.
After 1 hour, the shirts were compared.
35
B. Identify the tested, controlled, and responding variables in the given
situation.
You watered three sunflower plants with salt water. Each plant received a
different concentration of salt solutions. The fourth sunflower plant
received fresh water. After a three-week period, the height was
measured.

1. Open our Science Team and look for the video channel. Watch the video
titled “Variables” for further explanation of the topic.
2. For our next meeting, prepare a ruler, 1 short bond paper, and 15 pieces
of paper clips

LEARNING PACKETS IN SCIENCE 4
First Quarter - Week 5
Topic: Measuring
Prepare your ruler, 1 short bond paper, and 15 pcs of paper clips before the
class starts.
HISTORY TRIVIA
Have you ever tried measuring something using your body parts? Did you know
that during the ancient times, people just use their body parts or anything they
can see in their environment to measure things.
37
Examples:
Get your ruler, short bond paper, and paper clips. Measure the length of the
bond paper using the paper clips and ruler.
Guide Questions:
1. How long is the bond paper in paper clips? In the ruler?
2. Which is easier to use to measure the bond paper? using paper clips
or a ruler?
3. Which will give you a more accurate measurement? using paper
clips or a ruler? Why?
38
1. Length is the size of a straight line,
distance, or straight edge on an object.
We measure the length with a ruler.
Each ruler is divided into units.

News Update!
Watch a video clip about the confiscation of defective scales in a market.
a. Have you experienced the same concern as the mother in the
news regarding inaccurate weighing scales in the market?
b. How can you apply what you have learned today in dealing with
situations like this?
1. Open our Science Team and look for the video channel. Watch the video
titled “Measuring” for further explanation of the topic.
2. Be ready for Short Test #3 next meeting.
3. Review your learning packet week 5 and open your MS Teams ‘General
Channel’ for a copy of the PPT presentation.

Topic: Laboratory Tools
Guide Questions:
1. Were you able to get the exact measurements? Why? Why not?
2. What do you need to get the exact measurement of an object?
Watch the video clip about experimentation design. What are the things
needed to prepare for conducting an experiment?
