How time runs so fast. The last time you came was to take the I Periodic Exam. Now, as we begin with the 2!
periodic term and with God’s grace and mercy just keep on moving forward towards your dream of becoming @
teacher or police or an engineer or an entreprencur or a manager of a nurse, etc. despite the many hardships we
encounter in our daily life.

A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
i) Introduction (2 mins)
Welcome every one; { am pretty sure that each one would agree that almost all the things we do in our daily life is
science-based. Right? Actually, even the occurrence of this pandemic is science-based.
2) Activity 1: What ! Know Chart, part | (3 mins)
Directions: On the first column of the chart below, write the answer to each question based on your prior
knowledge, please be honest and do not hesitate to write “no idea” if, you do not really know the answer.

B, MAIN LESSON
1) Activity 2: Content Notes (13 mins)
Science is creating wonders almost every day. What was once sheer fantasy is now almost a reality by virtue of
the recent achievements of men of science. Almost everything that makes eases our daily life are the wonders of
modem science. Science has conferred many gifts on modem life. Indeed, they are far too many to be counted.
Cooking, boiling of water, burning of candle, curdling of milk, electricity, motorized vehicles, cell phones etc, make us
realize the presence of science in everyday life. From the above examples we can sense the broadness and importance
of science in our daly lives.
Science is developed from the need of understariding the natural phenomena, [tis a set of complex theories and
ideas, based on observing. testing, analyzing and then presenting phenomena. Scientist have developed several

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. The logigal process adopted by scientists to develop knowledge of nature and present
itas acceptable fact, This method is based on gathering empirical data through observation and experimentation
and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. The scientific methad consists of the following four elements:
1. Defining research problem: To determjne what phenomenon has to be understood, what has to be observed and how
it has to be measured. Observation bf a particular element means to notice and study it, in —as it ist form. In
scientific observation several technigues are applied for investigating phenomena and acquiritg knowledge. The
observer does not change anything if the phenomena and remains neutral during the observation process.
2, Hypothesis: isa logical predictive statement regarding the outcome of the research. Developing hypothesis provides
direction to the research. A hypothesis can be proved wrong during the process of research. In this case also it is
helpful because it helps to find out other logical steps to reach a certain conclusion.
3. Observation and experimentation: Experiments are processes devised to verify the validity of the hypothesis and
Understand the empirical data under selected conditions. An experiment is the test which tests the observations
and brings out such results that add to the knowledge of the phenomena. During an experiment the scientists
observes the phenomena in a coftrolled environment. Some experiments are however such that natural
environments are necessary for the {lements to function. The experiments are devised in a manner such that the
hypothesis can be tested using variogs parameters. It should be repeatable to enable further checking by any other
scientists. Experiment is not the ultithate step to understand phenomena. It is coupled with observation. Scientists
can skip experimentation in certain cases where observational data explains fact. logic. intuition and even
sometimes accidents reveal information.
4. Conclusions: based on experimentation and iogc, derive conclusions to understand the phenomena. By following this process,
new theories can be developed, existing theories can be tested under new hypothesis also existing hypotheses can be verified
