Lesson Title/ Topic: Hypothesis and Variables

Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity No. 1: Hypothesis and Variables (20 Minutes)

II. Objective(s):
At the end of the lesson, the learners shall be able to:
a. identify the different types of variables,
b. make hypotheses based on the given scientific problem.

III. Materials Needed: Reading Material, concept map

IV. Instructions:
For this activity, the students will be grouped into four. Each group will have their assigned
station.

o Experiment Procedure
There will be a situation posted in each station. The students will identify the, independent
and dependent variables. The students will also write the hypotheses of each station on their
science notebook. After three (3) minutes, they will exchange stations.

Reading/Viewing Guide

STATION 1
Manuel is a farmer. He noticed that there are mice that were pests on their rice crops. Their
harvest of rice crops decreases. The supply of rice affected their town. Which resulted, to a
high price of rice. He uses three steps. First, he mixed 20g bait phosphorus material into
the soil; second, he places a scarecrow on the farm and lastly, he planted peppermint in
between the rice crops.

STATION 2
Mary’s mother is a “plantita”. During the pandemic, she planted tomatoes. Because of lack
of space, some tomatoes were planted on the garden soil, while others were on the small
pots. She observed that her plant growth and its fruits differ, although she planted them
simultaneously. Because of lack of space, there were tomatoes planted on the garden, others
were in small pots. The tomatoes planted on the garden receives enough amount of sunlight.
The tomatoes planted on the pots were placed inside on their house. Both were watered and
were given same amount of fertilizers.

 STATION 3
During the Brigada eskwela, teacher Mara is cleaning her room. She mops the floor and
cleans the board and chairs. While cleaning, she noticed bubble gum stains on the wall. She
wanted to remove the stain before she repainted the wall. She tried to use oil, water and ice
to remove the bubble gum stain.

STATION 4
Joseph loves to eat. One of his favorite food is a sandwich. He makes it with peanut butter,
jams, ham, and even portions of margarine. His mother bought two packs of
bread. As he was about to prepare his sandwich, he saw molds on the sides of the bread.
He ran to his mom and told her about the molds. His mom told him to put a slice of bread
inside an air- tight container, the other slice to put in a paper bag and the remaining
slices, he left in the bread plastics.
