This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time.
You will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while
being an active learner.
iv
What I Have Learned This includes questions or blank
sentence/paragraph to be filled in to process
what you learned from the lesson.
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the
module. Use your Science activity notebook in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities
included in the module.
3. Read the instructions carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and in checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
The task of the facilitator is to assist the learners in going through the
module and answer learners’ queries or questions when they encounter any
difficulty in answering the tasks in this module. Thus, the facilitator will monitor
learners’ progress to accomplish the module with best learning outcomes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What I Need to Know
The second to the last step of the scientific method is to state your
conclusion. Conclusions in science are reliable, although it is tentative;
science is always a work in progress. Scientific conclusions are tentative
because all ideas are open to examination for further improvement.
After going through this module, you are expected to describe the
components of a scientific investigation (S7MT-Ia-1).
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the last two steps in Scientific Method: Drawing a Conclusion and
Communicating Results. The scope of this module permits you to use
different learning situations. You have to extend your patience in
understanding and analyzing what you are reading. Follow the directions in
the activities and answer the given test and exercises properly.
1
What I Know
I. Multiple Choice
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answers in
your Science activity notebook.
1. How do you call the part of the Scientific Method that uses the data to help
explain the results of the experiment?
A. observation C. conclusion
B. hypothesis D. purpose
2. Which of the following scientific skills is used when making conclusions?
A. observe C. inquiry
B. predict D. infer
3. Which of the following is the last step in the scientific method?
A. doing background research C. communicating results
B. constructing a hypothesis D. asking a question
4. How do you describe the purpose of a conclusion in the scientific method?
A. It gives sources of information to help the investigation.
B. It states an expected outcome of the investigation.
C. It states whether the data supports the hypothesis.
D. It explains the reason for doing the investigation.
5. Why is communication an important part of the scientific process?
A. It means results do not need to be confirmed.
B. It ensures that nobody makes mistakes.
C. It helps science progress more quickly.
D. It limits the flow of secret information.

6. Why do scientists communicate different results about the same topic?
A. The results of scientific experiments can never be reproduced.
B. Scientific data can be interpreted in different ways.
C. Scientists support only their own opinions.
D. Not all scientists use scientific methods.
7. What is the correct order of steps in the scientific method?
A. Ask a question, make a hypothesis, test hypothesis, draw
conclusions, analyze the results, and communicate results.
B. Ask a question, analyze the results, make a hypothesis, test the
hypothesis, draw conclusions, and communicate results.
C. Make hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze the results, ask a
question, draw conclusions, and communicate results.
D. Ask a question, make a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze
results, draw conclusions, and communicate results.
8. Which is NOT a step in the scientific method?
A. data collection and analysis C. forming a bias
B. experimentation D. observation
9. When you decide whether or not the data supports the original hypothesis,
you are ______.
A. drawing conclusions C. making observations
B. forming a hypothesis D. asking questions
10. Scientific studies must have clear and transparent methods so that the
studies are __________.
A. reproducible C. logical
B. methodical D. biased
3
12. Hypothesis, procedure and data must be considered in order to
understand the conclusion of an experiment.
14. The conclusion is the summary that tells us if our experimental data
supports our hypothesis.

Lesson
Drawing Conclusions and
1 Communicating Results
What’s In
You will have a vocabulary drill to recall your previous lessons in which
you will unscramble the following vocabulary words and write a concise
description about the word. Write your answers in your Science activity
notebook.

What’s New

What is It
When a hypothesis has been tested many times under many different
conditions and has been found to explain a group of observations, the
hypothesis becomes a theory. Theories are explanations for some problems
based on observations, experimentation and reasoning. While, if the same
results have been obtained for so many times by different scientists, the
summary of these experimental results becomes a law. Laws are summaries
of many experimental results and observations. Laws are not the same with
theories because laws tell only what happens, not why it happens.
7
Step 7. Communicating 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. Reporting one’s research let other
scientists repeat the investigation to see
whether they get the same results. Getting
the same results when an experiment is
repeated is called replication.
If results can be replicated, it means they are more likely to be
corrected. Replication of investigations is one way that a hypothesis may
eventually become a theory.
What’s More
Procedure:
1. Lay the coins one by one on a table.
2. Get a medicine dropper.
3. Fill the medicine dropper with water.
4. Drop the water in each coin one at a time.

5. Count the number of water drops needed to fill the coins. Stop
dropping when the water spills over the coin.
6. Do the same procedure with the other coins.
7. Record the data on the table provided for.
