SCIENCE & SCIENTIFIC METHOD Imelda R. Romero, Ph.D. Department of Biological Sciences School of Science and Technology SCIENCE & SCIENTIFIC METHOD What is SCIENCE? From the Latin word, “scientia”, which means knowledge It is a systematized body of knowledge that is based from facts and observations CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 SCIENCE & SCIENTIFIC METHOD What is SCIENTIFIC METHOD? It is a method used to: Verify a FACT Investigate a PHENOMENON Discover a KNOWLEDGE CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 Steps of Scientific Method Scientific Method is a series of steps that scientist and science students go through to answer scientific questions and solve problems. Sometimes the steps are done in order, but more often the order changes depending on their results. CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 STEPS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD Icon 1. OBSERVATION To NOTICE something Any SENSORY EXPERIENCE that causes the scientist to think and ask a question Receiving knowledge of the outside world through our senses CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 STEPS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD Icon 2. Define a PROBLEM Asking question(s) about what is observed WHAT: to know the FACTORS involved HOW: to know the PROCESS to be done WHY: to know the REASON about the phenomenon CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 STEPS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD Icon 3. Propose a HYPOTHESIS A hypothesis is: An EDUCATED GUESS A TENTATIVE ANSWER to the problem CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 STEPS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD Icon 4. EXPERIMENTATION To TEST the hypothesis: A test under controlled conditions that is made to demonstrate a known truth To examine the validity of a hypothesis, or to determine the efficacy of something previously untried CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 STEPS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD Icon 5. Drawing the CONCLUSION Considered as the THEORY FINAL ANSWER to the Problem RESULT of the research CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 SCIENCE AND SCIENTIFIC METHOD If the conclusion SUPPORTS THE HYPOTHESIS It is regarded as TRUE If the conclusion DISPROVES THE HYPOTHESIS It is regarded as FALSE CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY 2018 PRESENTATION TITLE LINE THANK YOU!
