Science Process (Integrated)
Definition Example Purpose
Experiment-ing
Experimenting is the activity that puts together all the process skills from identifying problems to making conclusions
Experiment to study the solubility of sugar in water
This skill helps students to act like a scientist. In everyday life, it helps a person solve a problem systematically and scientifically.
![Page 18: 3c experimenting and interpreting data](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/5871f14a1a28ab5c348b594b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Experimentation is a cause-and-effect test between two variables. All processes may be involved. This can begin with setting a problem to be solved, identifying variables to be controlled, making operational definitions, devising the test to be carried out and following the prescribed procedure or steps.

Science Processes (Integrate
d)Definition Example Purpose
Identifying and controlling variables
Recognizing the characteristics of objects of factors in events that are constant or change under different conditions
Listing or describing the factors that are thought to, or would influence the rate at which the ice cube melts (eg. Temperature, air movement)
The process of identifying and controlling variables is very important in scientific inquiry. The most definitive results of an investigation are obtained when the variables can be identified and carefully controlled.
Defining variables operationally
Specifying the variables and how they can be measured. They may be specified differently for different investigations.
In studying about the effects of fertilizer on the rate of growth, rate of growth can be defined as the increase in height in mm per week. The amount of fertilizer can be defined as the weight of the fertilizer in mg given to the plant
This skill is very useful in carrying out investigations so that precise data can be obtained

Science Processes
(Integrated)Definition Example Purpose
Recording Data Collecting bits of information about objects and events that illustrate a specific situation
Gathering information about observations and measurements in a systematic way.
Converting numerical quantities into a diagram that shows the relationships among the quantities
Taking notes, graphing or tabulating data or readings of a thermometer during an investigation
Data collected in a proper manner will help us identify patterns in the results.
Interpreting Data
Analyzing data that have been obtained and organized by determining apparent patterns or relationships in the data
Studying a graph, chart, or table of data
Skill of interpreting data will help a person understand what others try to explain. In everyday life, we are constantly interpreting data when we watch the news in television or when we read weather maps.

Graphs
Graphs communicate in pictorial form the data collected in an experiment.
A well constructed graph communicates experimental findings more readily than a data table.
![Page 43: 3c experimenting and interpreting data](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/5871f14a1a28ab5c348b594b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Observations and measurements of variables can be classified as either discrete or continuous.
Constructing Graphs
![Page 44: 3c experimenting and interpreting data](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/5871f14a1a28ab5c348b594b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Discrete data are categorical or counted data.
Examples: days of the week, gender, kind of animals, brand of soap, number of children, or color.
Bar graphs are appropriate for these types of variables.
![Page 45: 3c experimenting and interpreting data](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/5871f14a1a28ab5c348b594b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Continuous data –associated with measurements involving a standard scale with equal intervals.
Examples: height of plants in centimeters,the amount of fertilizers in grams, length of time in seconds
A line graph is a better way to depict the data.
![Page 46: 3c experimenting and interpreting data](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/5871f14a1a28ab5c348b594b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

1. Ten seeds were planted in each of 5 pots found around the house that contained 500 g of “Juan’s potting soil”. The pots were given the following amounts of distilled water each day for 40 days: Pot 1, 50 ml; Pot 2, 100 ml; Pot 3, 150 ml, Pot 4, 200 ml; Pot 5, 250 ml. because Pot 3 received the recommended amount of water, it was used as a control. The height of each plant was measured at the end of the experiment.

2. Gloria wanted to find out if the color of food would affect whether kindergarten children would select it for lunch. She put food coloring into 4 identical bowls of lugaw. The colors were red, green, yellow and blue. Each child chose a bowl of lugaw of the color of their choice. Gloria did this experiment using 100 pupils. She recorded the number of pupils that chose each color.

3. Sandy heard that plants compete for space. She decided to test this idea. She bought a mixture of flower seeds and some potting soil. Into each of 5 plastic cups she put the same amount of soil. In the first cup she planted 2 seeds, in the second cup she planted 4 seeds, in the third cup 8 seeds, and in the fourth cup she planted 16 seeds. In the last cup she planted 32 seeds. After 25 days she determined which set of plants looked best

4. Ester became interested in insulation while her parent’s new house was being built. She decided to determine which insulation transferred the least heat. She filled each of 5 jars half full with water. She sealed each jar with plastic lid. Then she wrapped each jar with a different kind of insulation. She put the jars outside in the direct sunlight. Later, she measured the temperature of the water in each jar
