NAME: ____________________________________ SECTION: ____________________
I. Directions: Identify which step in the Scientific Method is described in each statement. Write only
the letter of your choice.

A. Recognize a problem C. Test the hypothesis (testing implies experimenting)

B. Formulate a hypothesis D. Draw a conclusion

__________1. Mark thought that cactus would grow faster if he puts pebbles through
the soil in which they were planted.
__________2. Hanna’s data showed that ants moved away from raw cucumber slices.
__________3. Maria wondered if she could extract dye out of gumamela flowers
and leaves.
__________4. Peter grew molds from spoiled bread. He placed drops of different
vinegar to see how bread molds react with the substance.
__________5. Aling Nena’s experiment showed that duck eggshells were whiter and
stronger when she fed the ducks with commercial feeds combined with corn, to which
extra calcium had been added.
__________6. Jose saw ticks crawling in his dog’s body. He asked the veterinarian,
“How are ticks able to grow with his dog?”
__________7. Vivien soaked her stained white blouse in water for 24 hours. She used
different kinds of soap and detergents to get rid of the stain.
__________8. Jojo said, “If I plant monggo seeds in the afternoon, I think the plants
will grow more robust than the plants grown in the morning.”
__________9. If 50 mL of water are added to my plants each day and they grow, then
adding 100 mL of water each day will make them grow even more.
__________10. After working in the laboratory, the student found out that bacteria
grow more on less acidic environments.
__________11. The barista filled two identical glasses with the same amount of tap
water. He added varied amounts of salt into the substance. He then placed the mixtures
into the freezer overnight.
__________12. The singer predicted that there is an increase or decrease in a person’s
heart rate if people listen to music.
__________13. A kindergarten observed that his apple slices turned brown after few
minutes. He asked his mom if there is any way he can help stop the apple from turning
brown.
__________14. After finishing his breakfast, Angelo said that hot choco melts faster
in hot water than in cold water.
__________15. Malunggay trunks shall be planted in different areas. The plants will
be watered daily. Over a period of a week, the plants will be measured to see which
ones grew the tallest.
Directions: Read the scientific investigation story below. Encircle the letter that corresponds to your
answer.
A group of Grade 7- Rizal students came across one
interesting vlog of their favorite social media influencer that
touches the idea of giving music to plants. It is from this
fascinating idea that they thought of conducting similar
investigation as part of their requirements in their science
subject. They started to read books, surf the internet and study
researches on the effect of music to plant growth. Members
from the group continued to formulate their respective
hypotheses. They went on performing a simple experiment.
The group selected two San Francisco plants of similar size
planted on the same type of soil and kind of pots. Both plants
were healthy. Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a
window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal
amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants.
Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about
one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a
period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each
plant’s growth.

Multiple Choice: 5. What do you think the group’s

1. What was the problem in the Grade 7-
Rizal’s experiment?
a. Which San Francisco plant is taller?
b. What kind of music should be given to
plants?
c. How long can plants grow?
d. Does music make a plant grow faster?
2. What do you think their hypothesis was?
a. San Francisco plants grow because of
sunlight.
b. There is no change in size of the San
Francisco plants because it got equal amounts
of water.
c. Music can help plant grow faster.
d. Plants need good soil to grow faster.
3. How did they test their hypothesis?
a. They placed two plants in one room and
gave music to each.
b. They planted the San Francisco in different
pots and gave music to each.
c. Same plants in similar soil and pots; both
receive music.
d. Same plant in similar soil and pots, with
equal water and sunlight; only one plant
received music.
4. What was the variable in the experiment?
a. Presence of sunlight
b. Giving of music to one plant and no music
to the other
c. Amount of water
d. Similar soil and pots for both plants
conclusion was?
a. Plants grow with enough nutrients
b. There is an increase on plants height when
given music
c. Music has no effect on plant growth
d. Rich soil, water and sunlight are needed by
plants
6. Which is not a step in the scientific
method?
a. Formulate hypothesis c. Research
b. Conduct experiment
d. Ask people’s personal opinions
7. What is the first step in conducting a
scientific investigation?
a. Arrive at a conclusion c. Observe and ask
questions
b. Analyze data d. Test the hypothesis
8. What is the independent variable in the
experiment?
a. Location of the plants c. Type of soil
b. Amount of sunlight d. Music given
9. What is the dependent variable in the
experiment?
a. Amount of water c. Plant growth
b. Type of music d. Size of the room
10. What is final step of the scientific
method?
a. Record data
b. Communicate results
c. Make conclusions
d. Recognize a problem
