    a. Performance Task

    LESSON 1.1 SCIENTIST AND SCIENTIFIC VALUES


    LESSON 1.1 TRAITS OF A SCIENTIST

    1. CURIOSITY AND FASCINATION – A little child examines a patch of grass and investigates the creatures in it. With
    sheer amazement and wonder, the child asks questions. Each question leads to another. Fascination ensues with
    each new discovery.
    2. HUMILITY AND HEALTHY SKEPTICISM – A good scientist must be humble enough to accept that one does not
    have the answer to every question. A good scientist admits mistake.
    3. POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD FAILURE – Not all experiments are successful. Science is not only about getting
    the answer. It is also about the process of getting the answer. It is from failure that one learns to modify and
    improve an experiment.
    4. OPEN-MINDEDNESS – It means accepting criticisms and changing one’s views if reliable pieces of evidence are
    available. This includes showing respect for the work and ideas of others and being open to other possibilities
    and new ways of thinking.
    5. PERSEVERANCE – A good scientist does not give up. A scientist should be patient, especially when dealing with
    problems and unexpected setbacks. A good scientist is always ready to try again, especially when things do not
    work.
    6. SELF-CONFIDENCE – A scientist is confident and is ready to defend his work, especially if he knows that he is
    right.
    7. INTELLECTUAL HONESTY – Science is the continuum of knowledge, It is made up of many scientific discoveries
    and knowledge that have been accumulated.
    8. SCIENTIFIC INTUITION – A scientist should have a gut feeling to intuitively predict that something will happen
    such as disaster.
    9. APTITUDE FOR SERENDIPITY – Most scientific breakthroughs came out of serendipity. Serendipity means
    unexpectedly discovering or finding things.
    10. ETHICS – Scientists’ work should be guided by some moral code.

    ACTIVITY 1.1
    Search for different superstitious beliefs in other countries. Write it on a whole sheet of paper.

    LESSON 1.2 THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

    STEPS IN SCIENTIFIC METHOD

    STEP 1. OBSERVE. Keen observation of one’s surroundings and awareness of what is going on around you can lead to
    ideas that help identify a particular problem. Sometimes, we need to see the world through the perspective of others.
    When walking through a community, consult the people, get to know their problems, and ask how they want their
    problems solved. Listening also comes with observing. Actively listen to the concerns that the community voices out.

    STEP 2. RESEARCH. Go to the library and read up information related to the problem you identified. Review existing
    records or data. Consult experts who have worked on a similar problem. If your problem affects a particular community,
    you can interview officials or authorities who have jurisdiction over the area. Dong research is a valuable tool in making
    smart decisions. If you are equipped with some basic information, you can decide on what components or variables to
    manipulate or adjust.

    STEP 3. HYPOTHESIZE. Formulate an educated guess on the factors that affect your particular problem. There are two
    types of hypothesis: the null and alternative. The null hypothesis is written in the negative form. For example, earthworms
    do not help improve the quality of soil. The alternative hypothesis is written in the affirmative form. For example,
    earthworms help improve the quality of soil.

    STEP 4. TEST. Design your experiment and write the step-by-step process that you will use to test your hypothesis.
    Gather the materials that you will need. Identify the treatment that you will implement so that you can compare the results
    with a reference data. Observe and record what happens when one variable is manipulated or changed.

    STEP 5. ANALYZE. Organize your data into tables and graphs so that it will be easier to visualize your results.
    Summarize the data presented in your charts and tables. What trends do you observe?

    STEP 6. CONCLUDE. Based on your findings and interpretation of the data, draw your conclusion and see if they agree
    with your hypothesis.

    OBSERVATION, INFERENCE, AND CONCLUSION

    OBSERVATION is what one perceives through the senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
    INFERENCE is a suggestion or an implication that one bases on an observation. By stringing all the inferences and
    subjecting them to tests, one can reach a conclusion.

    LESSON 1.3. DESIGNING AN EXPERIMENT


    PERFORMANCE TASK
    a. Take a picture of the outcome of your experiment on the first module. It should include the picture of you planting
    the seed until the seeds are fully grown. Print it and paste it on your notebook.
