MODULE 1: UNDERSTANDING MATTER
Introduction and Focus Question
Science process skills, scientific attitudes, and scientific method are important tools that
scientists possess. These contribute to the great success they experience when conducting
experiments or research to have better understanding of matter. The study of nature is the realm
of science. There are people who are experts in different fields of sciences: life sciences, physical
sciences, earth sciences, and astronomy, among others. These experts are called scientists. Let us
find out how scientist think and do science.
This unit will help you identify the different scientific attitudes and values that are
important in the study of science. It will also help the scientific method while you explore the
components of matter through the use of different separation techniques. You will also learn the
skills needed in the study of nature.
Think about these questions: a. How do scientists work?
b. Why are scientific process skills important to be developed?
c. How do scientific attitudes help you become a better person?
d. How does knowledge of mixtures help us use the substances around
us?

OPENING PRAYER
Lord, thank You for this wonderful day. For the gift of new life, family, teachers, sisters
and classmates. We ask You to guide us as we learn new things today. We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
How are you today? I wish you’re doing well with your family!
Before we will go on with our lesson for this week, be a scientist and try to think about this:
Why does water fall from the sky? Why is there day and night? Why are birds capable of
flying? We may know the answers to these questions now, but long ago, these were mysteries to
people. Little by little, as man explored and studied the world around him, he began to discover
things and answer questions that bothered him.
Science has encouraged man’s natural curiosity about the world around him. And as he
asks questions on why things exist and how events happen, Science helps him answer these
questions. So what is Science? This lesson will acquaint you with science, the scientists, and the
scientific processes.
Activity 1 Do and Discover
Suppose you want to find out how a tomato plant grows. What steps will you take to find
answers to your problem? List down these steps inside the box and complete the statement below.
After doing this activity, I discovered that

LESSON 1.1 BASIC SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
There are observable behaviors that demonstrate how you perform the skills of observing,
classifying, communicating, measuring, inferring and predicting. Find out if you can demonstrate
these behaviors.
A. Observing
1. Uses one or more senses to observe objects or events.
2. Makes qualitative observations that describe shape, color, size, and texture using
descriptive words.
3. Uses tools like hand lens, microscope, and telescope to observe objects and phenomenon.
4. Uses measuring tools like balance, ruler, meter stick, graduated cylinder, beaker,
thermometer, and stopwatch to make quantitative observations.
5. Uses appropriate units of measurements.
Have you observed yourself lately? Without further observation, how many these questions
can you answer?
_________ Are your eyes above, below, or in line with your ears?
_________ Do your toenails grow faster than your fingernails?
_________ When you fold your hands and interlock your fingers, do you know which thumb of
which hand ends up on top? Is it always the same one?
_________ Do the moons on your fingernails match the moons on your toenails?
_________ What proportion of your overall body length is your head length?
How well did you score? If you got more than three out of five, you did extremely well. Many
people see but not all are good observers. Observing is the process skill using several or all of the
senses- sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell to describe or to take note of things. When you
observe, you look for the characteristics or properties that make something what it is.
B. Inferring
Suggest explanations of an observation based on past experience.
Note: Inference are not always correct. Limited observations. Inaccurate prior knowledge, or
misconception may lead to incorrect inferences.
Observations
Wick of the burning candle becomes black.
Inferences
Burning of the wick causes formation of
carbon.
Candle flame moves or flickers.
Wind causes the flame to move or flicker.
Activity 2
What is the difference between observation and inference?
Study the following statements below:
It is 2:50 a.m
There are nine lights in this hallway.
It is 2:50 p.m
Two paintings hang on the wall at the end of the hall.
A clock is on the wall.
This is the hallway of an art gallery.
This building is closed.
No people are in the hallway.
Note which statements are based on the five senses and which are not.
1. Which statements are based on what were observed through the senses?

2. Which statements interpret or explain what were observed?

3. If statements that are based on what was observed through the senses are called observations,
what is an observation?

To understand more about observation and inference, and to be able to understand their
differences, do the activity below.
Activity 3
Perform the following activities, then write your observations and inferences on the blanks
provided.
1. Rub your hands together, first do it slowly, then rapidly and more vigorously.

C. Predicting
It is a foretelling the probable outcome or result. It can only be done after a careful analysis
of any existing relationship between sets of collected data. Establishing relationships is important
in the scientific method. Interpolation is a prediction within the range of given data. Extrapolation
is a prediction beyond the range of observable data.
Example:
It was a weekend. Mario and Eric were out to have some fun at the carnival. They went to
the rides and tried some games. As they walked around, Mario saw a fortune teller’s booth. He
urged Eric to have their fortune told. Eric refused and said he did not believe fortune tellers could
predict the future. He knew what predictions meant.
To deepen our understanding about predicting, analyze the table below and answer the
following questions that follow.

possible angle is considered. Observations are gathered with great care and accuracy. Evidences
are weighed carefully before drawing conclusions.
