Lesson Introduction Brief description:
Science investigation is a process used to find answers to questions about
the things around us. It is often following a general pattern. This pattern is
commonly called the Scientific Method.

Qualitative
observation, is the kind of observation where a person observes a certain
thing based on its physical qualities or properties. This observation makes
use all five senses – sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste.
Quantitative observation is the kind of observation where a person
observes a certain thing based on number and measurement.
Independent variable. This refers to the factors in an experiment which is
identified as the possible cause of change. It can be manipulated.
Dependent variable. It is the factor that changes in response to the
independent variable. It is also presumed as effect.
Control variable. A part of the experiment that is not being tested and is
used for comparison.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD- A series of steps used by scientists to solve a

problem or answer a question. It I also a pattern or body of techniques used
to investigate a phenomenon, acquire new knowledge, or correct and
integrate previous knowledge.

HYPOTHESIS- An educated guess or a possible answer to the problem.

VARIABLE- The components in an experiment that are either maintained or

changed to check the validity of the results.

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE- This refers to the quantity which identified as

the possible cause of change. It can be manipulated.

DEPENDENT VARIABLE- It is the factor that changes in response to the

independent variable. It is also presumed effect.

CONTROL VARIABLE- A part of the experiment that is not being tested and
is used for comparison.

QUALITATIVE OBSERVATION- The kind of observation where a person

observes a certain thing based on its physical qualities or properties. This
observation uses all five senses- sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste.

observes a certain thing based on numbers and measurements.
