WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO LEARN FROM THIS UNIT

After going through this unit, you are expected to:

1. describe the components of a scientific investigation;

2. recognize that substances are classified into elements and compounds;
3. distinguish mixtures from substances based on a set of properties;
4. investigate properties of unsaturated or saturated solutions;
5. express concentrations of solutions quantitatively by preparing different
concentrations of mixtures according to uses and availability of materials.

WEEK 1

CONTENT STANDARD: The learners demonstrate understanding of…

scientific ways of acquiring knowledge and solving problems.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: The learners should be able to…

perform in groups in guided investigations involving community- based problems using locally
available materials.

LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Describe the components of a scientific investigation (S7MT-Ia-1)

HOW TO LEARN FROM THIS UNIT

1. Read carefully the instructions given.
2. Answer the pre-test first.
3. Fill-up the designated boxes for any drawings/labels required.
4. Answer post-test after doing/answering all the activities.
5. Let your parents check your work and sign when the score I already
given by the teacher.

TRY THIS! WHAT TO DO BEFORE (PRE-TEST)

TRUE or FALSE. Write T if the statement is CORRECT and F if the statement is

INCORRECT.
________1. Responding variable or dependent variable is a factor that is changed by the
researcher.
________2. Hypothesis leads to question.
________3. Prediction tells what will happen under certain condition.
________4. Hypothesis is a testable statement.
________5. Communication of results is the last step in the scientific investigation.
YOUR TARGET
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:

1. define scientific method;

 2. list the steps of the scientific method; and
3. show example problem solved using the steps of the scientific method.

LESSON 1: WHAT IS SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION?

Scientists investigate the world in many ways. In different fields of science, researchers may use
different methods and be guided by different theories and hypotheses. However, most scientists,
including physical scientists, usually follow the general approach shown in Figure below. This
approach typically includes the following steps:
