2. How could you repair an electric fan that is not working properly? Apply the scientific
method.
Identify the problem: The first step is to identify the problem. Observe and determine the
source of the problem. Is it not working at all? Making any noise? Or check the power
source to see if it is plugged properly.
Formulate a hypothesis: Based on the identified problem and your observation, create a
guess about what might be causing the problem.
Test the hypothesis: To test the hypothesis, try and check the components of the fan that
you guessed to be the cause of the malfunction.
Analyze the data: Based on the results of the testing, gather data and analyze whether
your hypothesis is supported or not. If not, create another hypothesis and continue testing
until the problem is identified.
Draw a conclusion: When the problem is identified, draw a conclusion about the cause of
the problem. Then identify the best course of action to be taken to address the
malfunction. This involves replacing and repairing damaged components of the fan.
Communicate the results: Communicate the results to anyone in need of knowledge. Such
as your friend or a fan repairer. It includes what was wrong with the fan, how you
addressed it and take action, and your recommended preventions on how to avoid the
same problem.

3. Why are traits\ characteristics important in the field of Science?
The traits and characteristics are important in the field of science because science itself
lies within the field of empirical evidence. And to gather and analyze empirical evidence,
there's a need for the existence of a subject and its characteristics, which will serve as the
properties that are subjected to observation and yield scientific results.
4. How will you prepare a laboratory procedure to verify the validity of the hypothesis?
Give example.
In preparation for a laboratory procedure to verify the validity of a hypothesis, aside from
preparing all the necessary materials and equipment, there needs to be complete
knowledge and understanding of the problem and the whole idea of the hypothesis. It is
to become more observant of the related effects regarding the point of the hypothesis and
produce relative results.
For example, in your hypothesis as to why the electric fan is not working properly, you
have guessed that the blades are damaged. And to proceed to a procedure to validate the
hypothesis, there should be prepared tools to examine the components and the thought of
the hypothesis as the potential cause so that while you are checking parts, you are aware
of the effects and reactions you are going to encounter.

1. Scientific Research is an unending process. Make a list of current innovations/ issues in
the field of Environmental Science and discuss the implications.
Current Issues Implications
1. Melting of ice caps Melting ice caps can cause a rise in sea
level, which can have tremendous
effects on coastal ecosystems and
human settlements. Higher sea levels
can lead to flooding and erosion.
2. Climate Change Climate change is causing changes in
soil temperature, moisture, and
nutrient availability, which can affect
plant growth and soil health.
3. Deforestation Deforestation can cause the loss of animals’
habitats. It can also produce problems in
vegetation and farming. It causes the soil
polluted and not useful for planting.

2. Identify/ name at least one environmental problem and prepare a procedure on how to solve
a such problem then recommend solutions.
Air Pollution- Implementing stricter regulations on factory emissions and vehicles, as
well as encouraging the use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power,
are some of the steps taken to address the problem of air pollution. Promote the use of
bicycles and public transportation to lessen the emission of polluted gas.
Recommendation: I recommend the advocacy of tree- planting every certain period of
time of the year. Schools are mandatory to practice tree-planting programs to generate
early concern about environmental issues like air pollution. Also, establishing laws
that protect forests that are expected to stimulate the reduction of polluted gases.
Water Pollution- In order to decrease the number of harmful chemicals entering our
coastal waters, it is possible to reduce water pollution by enforcing stricter regulations
on businesses that discharge pollutants into water sources. Additionally, promoting
community clean-up initiatives and educating people on proper waste disposal can
prevent water pollution.
Recommendation: I recommend tight policy within business operatives especially
beside the coastal about disposing of dangerous chemicals in the waterways. Also, to
promote monthly clean-up in our coastal areas to maintain cleanliness and for it to
become a habbit for the community.
