The document summarizes several scientific experiments and attitudes that scientists should possess. It describes an experiment where a student tested how the mass of a paper airplane affected its flight distance by adding paper clips. It also describes an experiment that measured pollution from cars using gasoline with different amounts of lead. It then lists attitudes scientists should have like curiosity, open-mindedness, objectivity, and responsibility. It discusses how science and technology affect our lives and poses discussion questions. Finally, it provides instructions for students to conduct experiments in groups and submit a scientific report.

A student wanted to test how the mass of a paper airpl
ane affected the distance it would fly. Paper clips were
added before each test flight. As each paper clip was a
dded, the plane was tested to determine how far it woul
d fly.
Independent : Mass of airplane (clips addedd)
Dependent : The distance of airplane flies Control : Plane without clips The amount of pollution produced by cars was m
easured for cars using gasoline containing differe
nt amounts of lead.
Independent : Type of gasoline (different amou
nt of lead) Dependent : Amount of pollution Control : Type of cars Attitudes of Scientist
A set of attitude that scientist/
students study science shoul d possess. Curiosity
Always try to seek, inquire,
discover.
This attitude enables a scientist
to try to discover more about th e things around him. Open-mindedness is an attitude that all ows a scientist to look at other possibilit ies. Evaluate, validate and accept other people’s idea towards a question. A scientist must be objective in declaring results of his/her experiments and Judgment is based on observable phenomena and not influenced by emotions or personal prejudices Scientists must have fertile mind be cause creating a plausible reason fo r things to work as they do is a cruci al step in scientific investigation. The moral, social and personal responsibility and accountability of a scientist to all of his works must be observed. • A good Scientist should not give up. being honest and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values. How does science and Technology Affect our Lives?
Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.
it has lead to several changes in the way we lead our lives. Discussion
1. How science and technology beneficial or harmful to our society?
2. Why is there a need to be responsible towards our environment and society on the use of science and technology? 3. can science and technology solve all our problems? PROJECT
• Conduct an experiment with your own group, each group consist of 3 - 4 pe
ople. Present your result in scientific report according to scientific method. • Theme : 1. which melt faster, a tea cube or water cube? 2. which liquid will make an egg float? salt water or water? 3. an archimedes experiment 4. volcano 5. make your own gas baloon
