STS MIDTERM REVIEWER ‧₊˚ ⋅ 1ST SEMESTER 🍒 ASSUMPTIONS WHEN USING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD ★ There are specific causes for events observed in nature. ★ These causes can be identified. ★ There are general rules or principles that Science Technology can be used to describe what happens in nature. Scientia --> KNOWLEDGE ★ An event that occurs repeatedly probably Explains the phenomena we encounter in has the same cause. nature and the univers ★ What one person perceives can also be Used in solving problems perceived by others. || ★ The same fundamental rule of nature apply Through a systematic process = Scientific regardless of where and when they occur. Method Steps in Scientific Method OBSERVATIO ➔ A careful and thoughtful N recognition of an event. ➔ occurs when we use our senses and extension of our senses to record events. Identification ➔ Asking questions. of a Problem ➔ How the questions are asked will Scientific Method determine how you go about The way of getting information or facts answering them. about nature or the universe by forming possible answers and solutions to questions or Conduct ➔ Statement on possible answers problems. hypothesis to a question and explanation or followed by rigorous testing to determine if an observation. the proposed answers or solutions are valid. Testing of ➔ Make additional observations hypothesis Research ➔ Experimentation requires a systematic search of information ➔ Collect pertinent information and continual checking and re-checking to see Gathering and ➔ results (data) can be if previous ideas are still supported by new Analysis of information. quantitative or qualitative Results Freedom and accuracy from bias ➔ type of data to gather and analysis to be performed will depend on the questions and objectives Goodluck friends ദ്ദി(˵ ̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ PAGE 1 STS MIDTERM REVIEWER ‧₊˚ ⋅ 1ST SEMESTER Generate ➔ accept or do not accept a Conclusions hypothesis ➔ when broad consensus exists about an area in science, it is known as a theory or law. Theory ➔ widely accepted plausible generalization about fundamental concepts in science that explains WHY things happen Law ➔ is a uniform or constant fact that describes WHAT happens in nature Basically in easier terms: 1. Observation - ano nakikita mo visually 2. Question - something your curious about what HOW TO INDENTIFY A GOOD HYPOTHESIS you observed ★ LOGICAL 3. Hypothesis - ano sa tingin mo mag-yayari from ★ Has all the relevant information currently your analyzation available 4. Test hypothesis - ttest mo ung hypothesis ★ Allow one to predict future events relating to mo (like above example inoobserve niya kung the question being asked uulan talaga) ★ testable 5. Data - can be quantitative or qualitative 6.
