how to conduct experiment

1. Conducting Experiment Benjamen L. Banaag Jr.

2. Learning Competencies Conduct a guided experiment.

3. In conducting a simple experiment it is important to follow the different steps of scientific method to get the correct results.

4. Why conduct an experiment? To explain changes To look at cause and effect Deduce a hypothesis from a theory To examine relationships between variables Approve or disapprove hypotheses Provide evidence

5. EXPERIMENT A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate known fact. Perform a scientific procedure, especially in a laboratory, to determine something.

6. Can you still remember the different steps of the scientific method?

7. Steps of the Scientific Method Asking question about the problem the scientific method starts when you ask question about something that you observe: how, what, when, who, which, why or where. Making correct or appropriate questions about problems that you are interested is an important step to guide you on what to focus that will help you solve the problem.

8. Steps of the Scientific Method Gathering data about the problem rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be savvy scientist using library or internet research help you to find the best way to do things and ensure that you don’t repeat mistakes from the past. Consulting experts related to your problem is another way to ensure that your investigation is on the right track.

9. Steps of the Scientific Method Making hypothesis recall that a hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work. It is an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can be tested. A good hypothesis allows you to then make a prediction. For example you may this sentence pattern to make your hypothesis: “If_____ [I do this] __________, then [this] __ will happen.” Framing a tentative answer to your problem will give ideas on how you are going to proceed to test your hypothesis.

10. Steps of the Scientific Method Testing the hypothesis through an experiment conducting an experiment will test or prove whether your hypothesis is accurate or not. The data you gather from your experiment will be your valid evidence to support your hypothesis. If it proves otherwise, then new discovery or another novel study or investigation is worthy to be conducted.

11. Steps of the Scientific Method What is important is that you conduct your experiment fairly. That is, by making sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.

12. Steps of the Scientific Method Analysing data of experiment involves reviewing gathered data from your observations when you conducted the experiment on your problem at hand. To ensure fairness and no biases will be committed, you need to look at the results of your experiment with a critical eye and be very objective in reporting it. Changing observed data to suit your hypothesis is a mortal sin when you are conducting Science investigation.

13. Steps of the Scientific Method Making conclusion after analyzing your data and giving meaning to it, you are now ready to summarize and evaluate results of your experiment. In this step, you are giving the whole picture about your findings and its importance. You are answering the ‘so what’ part of your findings. Conclusions are indicators of whether your experiments conform to already known discoveries or offer new ideas that could shed light to other confusing Science phenomena.

14. Steps of the Scientific Method Communicating result this is the part that gives true value to the investigation or study or experiment you have conducted. Your study can be very useful when results of your experiment are shared or known by others. Results of any Science investigation or experiment when communicated are proactive way to contribute in the body of knowledge. This action may have profound effect in improving human lives especially when experimental results are utilized Examples of communicating findings or results of research can be done through Science congress, publishing it in a journal or through advocacy campaigns or talk during Science camps.
