 OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the discussion, the
students should be able to:

 SCIENCE AS METHODS AND
RESULTS

The scientific method is

a process for
experimentation that is
used to explore
observations and answer
questions.
SCIENCE AS METHODS AND
RESULTS

1
OBSERVE/ASK A QUESTION: The
scientific method starts
when you ask a question
about something that you
observe: How, What, When,
Who, Which, Why, or Where?

3
CONSTRUCT A HYPOTHESIS: A hypothesis is an
educated guess about how things work. It
is an attempt to answer your question with
an explanation that can be tested. A good
hypothesis allows you to then make a
prediction:
"If _____[I do this] _____, then
_____[this]_____ will happen."
SCIENCE AS METHODS AND

4
CONDUCT EXPERIMENT by
setting up dependent and
independent variables, and
trying to see how
independent ones affect
dependent ones.
SCIENCE AS METHODS AND

5
GATHER AND ANALYZE results
throughout and upon
culmination of the experiment.
Examine if the data gathered
are significant enough to
conclude results.

FORMULATE CONCLUSION AND
PROVIDE RECOMMENDATION in
case others would want to
broaden the study.
