Study Notes
Scientific Investigation
- A process of finding answers to questions by using research methods
- Includes steps such as identifying the aim or problem, planning materials and equipment, writing procedures, recording results, and drawing conclusions
- Requires the use of a hypothesis, which is a proposed explanation based on limited evidence that is tested during the investigation
- Variables are factors that are changed or manipulated during the experiment to test the hypothesis
Applying the Scientific Method
- Using the scientific method in everyday scenarios helps find solutions logically and systematically, reducing frustration and improving outcomes.
- The scientific method ensures medical decisions are based on evidence, increasing chances of treatment success
- The scientific method helps understand complex environmental issues and develop strategies to protect ecosystems.
Scientific Attitudes
- Important for scientific investigation
- Include curiosity, objectivity, open-mindedness, and cooperation
Steps of a Scientific Investigation
- Identifying the problem: Defining the question being investigated.
- Formulating a hypothesis: Developing a testable explanation for the problem.
- Testing the hypothesis: Collecting data to support or refute the hypothesis.
- Drawing conclusions: Analyzing the data collected and determining whether the hypothesis is supported.
Importance of the Scientific Method
- Ensures findings are based on observable evidence.
- Allows for replication and validation of results by other scientists.
- Helps to identify and eliminate bias.
The Scientific Method in Real-Life Scenarios
- Healthcare: Determining the effectiveness of new treatments.
- Environmental science: Understanding climate change and finding solutions for pollution.
- Engineering: Developing new technologies and solving problems related to infrastructure
Lab Activity
- Includes stating objectives, discussing procedures, and writing a graphic organizer
- Activity named "INVESTIGARE"
- Focuses on the scientific method
- Students perform the actual lab activity and answer the lab sheet
Lesson Goals
- Internalize scientific attitudes by performing activities
- Make accurate measurements using standard units for physical quantities
- Organize collected data when carrying out scientific investigations
Example Scientific Investigation
- Example: Alex has a high-carbohydrate diet and experiences symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.
- This investigation aims to determine if a diet high in carbohydrates and sugary foods can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and associated symptoms
