FIRST QUARTER- WEEK 1
Objectives: Describe the components of a
scientific investigation.
Prepared by:
4. Testing the Hypothesis/
Experiment
The next scientific step you are going to is to test
your hypothesis. Some hypothesis may be tested
simply by further observations or take an elaborate
and tedious process as in the experiment.
5. Organize and Analyze Data
After performing an experiment and
collecting data, one must analyze
the data. Research experiments
usually analyzed data with statistical
software in order to determine the
relationships among the data
gathered. In the case of a simpler
experiment, one would look at the
data and see how they show a
relationship.
6. Draw Conclusions
The next step of scientific investigation is
to form a conclusion. If the data support
the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is
correct and may be the explanation for the
phenomena. If the data do not support the
hypothesis, then more observations must
be made, a new hypothesis is formed, and
the scientific investigation is used all over
again.
7. Communicate Results
When a conclusion is
drawn, the research can be
presented to others to inform
them of the findings and
receive input about the
validity of the conclusion
drawn from the research.
