Direction: Read the scenario below and identify the parts of the scientific method.

61-70. Sir Jeidren complains that his classroom is very hot, and the air-condition unit is
not releasing cold air. He checked and saw that the air filter is still clean, and he
checked the compressor and saw that it is not working due to overheat. On the
next day, he fixed the faulty parts of the compressor and tested the air condition
unit again to see if its functioning well. Finally, the air-condition unit is now
releasing cold air.

Identification of the problem:

Formulation of the hypothesis:

Experimentation:

Judging the null hypothesis:

Derive a conclusion:

Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary
in their desires to reach their potential. – John Maxwell

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!
