aims to uncover evidences and refine our understanding of the world around us.
2. NAME three (3) CHARACTERISTICS of a Scientific Method. (6 pts.)
Answers:
 Scientific methods are based on assumptions or hypothesis.

 They are orderly and systematic processes.
LIST down the seven (7) Scientific Method Sequence; DESCRIBE each method. (14 pts.)

 Question- raising a question on the observable development or attempting to understand
certain aspects of it.
 Hypothesis- providing an insufficient explanation or calculated guess as a response to the
enquiry.
 Prediction- expecting the result or results someone would have expected if the hypothesis
were correct.
 Experimentation- developing and carrying out experiments to gather data and analyze the
theory.
 Analysis- coming to conclusions using an evaluation of the data gathered during the
experiment.
 Conclusion- Making interpretations from the data analysis that might result to the
hypothesis being modified, denied, or approved.
3. IDENTIFY the two (2) Types of OBSERVATION in the Scientific Method.Describe
