Scientific Attitudes:
What makes a scientist?
Is there a time wherein you dream of becoming a scientist or engaging in a
science-related career in the future? What are your reasons for dreaming to be one?
What’s In
The impact and influence of science, technology, and research are evident in
our everyday lives. It can be seen and felt everywhere. Its products are used in doing
our household chores easier and faster. It makes treatment of many illnesses
possible and further helps in boosting our economy. Along with the process of
conducting a scientific investigation, there are necessary characteristics that enable
these scientists and innovators to be successful in their fields of discipline. Can you
name one? To learn more, let’s do Activity 1.1.

What’s New
Activity 1.1: Let’s Get to Know Who
Directions: Read carefully the text about Thomas Alva Edison.
Precautionary measures: Do not try performing what is stated
in the written text at home. Electricity is very dangerous and
could be fatal.
Edison once noticed that when electricity flowed through a piece of iron
wire, the iron wire became red hot. The wire glowed brightly, but not bright enough
to light a room. When he used a thinner piece of iron wire and allowed electricity
to pass through, the wire glowed. But he wanted greater brightness. He tried other
metals. Finally, he discovered that a thin piece of tungsten wire could glow so
bright that it can easily light a room.
But he also realized that the glow did not last long. After a few minutes, the
wire burned to ashes. He wondered why. Since oxygen is needed in burning, he
reasoned that if only the wire would not come in contact with oxygen, it would not
burn. He, therefore, pumped out air (containing oxygen) from a bulb using a
machine. He then enclosed the tungsten wire in what he thought was already an
oxygen-free bulb. He then tested the bulb. The wire glowed longer, but it also died
out after a few minutes.
Edison tried pumping out more air and tested the bulb again. When the
glow on the wire died out, he repeated his experiment, pumping out larger
amounts of air and making sure no air entered the bulb. This was his way of
finding out whether the length of time before the wire ceased from glowing was
dependent on the amount of air present in the bulb. He repeated this activity over
and over again, getting many bulbs busted in the process. But he did not lose
hope. He continued with the experiment. Each time, the wire glowed brighter and
longer. Finally, the tungsten glowed steadily. Edison knew then that he had
succeeded. He had invented the incandescent light bulb.
Source: Adapted from Integrated Science (2004), p.6.
Questions to ponder:
1. What makes Edison successful?
2. Is it possible for us to have these traits and characteristics?
Let’s move forward for us to know more about the different scientific
attitudes.

What is It
In activity 1.1, you read a story about the challenges of Thomas Alva Edison
and what he did to successfully invent the incandescent bulb. Indeed, he
encountered many hardships in his journey towards the discovery of the
incandescent bulb. However, he persevered and never gave up. As his famous
quotation goes, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work”. He
is a good observant and an explorer. These are just some of the characteristics of
Edison that you may have answered for the questions above. Now, study the table
below to learn more about the different scientific attitudes.

Description
When one makes his/her observations carefully and
accurately.
It is shown when one believes that there is a reason behind
everything. He or she does not believe in superstitions.
He or she asks questions and is eager to find the answers to
these questions.
It is displayed when one is not biased or prejudiced. He or she
does not allow his or her judgment to be influenced by his or
her likes and dislikes.
When one does not claim the work of others as his/her own.
The quality or character of being objective, lack of favoritism,
and freedom from biases.
He or she respects the ideas and opinions of others, even if they
are contrary to his or her own.
When one continues doing one’s tasks despite the challenges
encountered.
The attitude of doubting knowledge claims that are set forth in
various areas.
He or she avoids rash judgment. He or she does not accept a
statement as a fact unless it has been well tested. He or she
weighs evidence carefully before making a conclusion.
Do you exhibit these traits? You don’t need to be a scientist to have these
traits and not all traits listed above may be present in one person. But for sure,
there is a trait above that you have as you could be a scientist in the making and
maybe soon to be a modern-day Edison. These traits are also shown and are very
important to researchers, inventors, and even to a student like you. Let’s have a little
drill. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Basic Science Process Skills
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you had identified the different scientific
attitudes that scientists and persons studying the realm of science and
science-related fields must have. These scientific attitudes include but are not
limited to being a careful worker, critical thinker, curious, fair-minded,
intellectually honest, objective, open-minded, perseverance, skeptical and
thorough. These attitudes enable individuals to discover and invent things
that benefit the society. Moreover, skills are needed to enable someone to turn
brilliant ideas into a reality. These skills are divided into two: basic science
process skills and integrated science process skills. In this module, we will
learn the basic science process skills. Fasten your seatbelt and let’s go.

What is It
In activity 2.1, you analyzed the given picture carefully and you answered the
following questions: What do you see in the picture? What do you think happens as
shown on the picture? What does the picture make you wonder? As you answered
these questions, you were using some of the basic science process skills such as
observing and making inferences. To know more, read the following discussion about
the different basic science process skills.
Making observations
Looking back on the previous activity, you were asked to write what you see
in the picture. Maybe, you answered the following:
1. The road is wet.
2. There is water on the road.
3. There are few vehicles on the road.
In doing so, you use your sense of sight as you take a look at the picture. In this
process, you are making observations. An observation is a fact learned directly
through the use of the senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell. Making
observation means using one or two of our senses to describe objects or events.
Information or data can be gathered through observations.
7
Remember these tips when making observations:
1. Use as many senses as you can. Never taste unless you are told to do so.
2. When you pick up something or when you are watching an event, think about
how you can use your senses to get information about that object or event.
3. Describe only what you observe directly through your senses.
4. Take notes of changes. Include observations before, during, and after the
change.
There are two types of observation. These are qualitative and quantitative
observations. Qualitative observation is a subjective process of data gathering with
the use of sensory organs. It uses appropriate words and adjectives to describe
objects and events. On the other hand, quantitative observation is objective, and it
made use of instruments like rulers, thermometers, barometers, balances, and the
like to quantify information. Numbers and measurements were used in quantitative
observations. For you to better understand, study the given examples.
Qualitative Observations
The road is wet.
The liquid tastes salty.
There is curdle in the milk.
Quantitative Observations
The seedling has five leaves.
The beaker has 72ml colorless liquid.
The temperature of the liquid is 80°C.
Making inferences
Observation is a personal experience obtained through one or more of the
senses. Based on these experiences, we can make inferences. We make inferences
when we use our past experiences to draw conclusions and make explanations about
objects or events not observed. Making an inference means deriving additional
information from observations by relating them to experiences or by reasoning out
logically. Simply, inferences are logical conclusions based on observations and prior
knowledge. To make good inferences remember the following:
1. Observe an object or event very carefully.
2. Based on past experiences, think of several inferences.
3. Decide which new observations would support these inferences.
4. Make new observations to determine if each of the inferences is an acceptable
explanation
Here is an example:
Observation
There is water on the road.
Inference
It might have rained in this area a while ago.
The water tubes located near the area might be
damaged.
There are few individuals in The place is still under ECQ.
the street.
People are afraid to be infected with COVID19.
Raising questions
based
1.
2.
3.
When we use our senses in our surroundings, we usually asked questions
on what we observed. For an instance, we asked questions like:
Why the sky is blue?
Why do we experience heavy rains for a few days already?
Why do the color changes in camote tops extract when vinegar is placed?
8
When questions are raised, we tend to find answers to these queries. This is one of
the basic skills that lead to the discovery of new things and ideas. As long as there
are questions asked, there will be new explorations and discoveries.
Comparing and classifying
Objects and organisms come in varied forms and shapes. For scientists to
study them easily, they need to group them accordingly by observing their similarities
and differences. Observing the similarities and differences among things and events
are used by scientists and individuals to group and classify them. Objects and events
with common characteristics are grouped together. They can be classified using one
or multistage schemes. Kindly study the diagram below as an example.

Manipulating equipment
Scientists and aspiring scientists performed activities inside a laboratory to
test and verify observations. In doing so, it is very important that these individuals
know how to manipulate and use the appropriate equipment and apparatuses for
them to carry out the activity or experiment safely, accurately, and successfully.
Measuring and estimating
Another important basic science process skill is measuring and estimating.
As you had learned a while ago, information about objects and events can be
collected through making observations. Observations could be qualitative or
quantitative. Quantitative data makes descriptions of events and objects more
accurate. For example, when you observe a plant, you can notice that the plant had
grown, however, if you say that the plant has 10 leaves and a height of 22 cm, you
had given more accurate information as to what extent the plant has grown.
Did you know that people long ago use to measure length by using body parts
like using one’s arms? Do you think using one’s arm is accurate? Correct, it is not
because different people have different arm lengths. These differences can cause
conflict between individuals. For an instance, when a long-armed customer buys a
piece of cloth from a short-armed seller, there will be disagreements. To avoid this,
a standard of measurement is adapted in the country and that is the Metric system.
9
This is considered the International System of Unit (Systeme Internationale d’ Unites
or SI units).
Some units which are most commonly used are:
Quantity
Length
Area
Volume
Speed
Mass
SI units
kilometer (km), meter (m), centimeter (cm), millimeter (mm)
square meter (m2), hectare (ha)
liter (L), mililiter (ml), cubic meter (m3)
kilometer per hour (kph), meters per second (m/s)
kilogram (kg), gram (g)
Quantitative observations and data can be acquired with the use of
standardized measuring instruments like ruler, balance, graduated cylinder,
protractor, thermometer, stopwatch, etc. Nonstandard items like cups and
tablespoons can also be used. To make accurate measurements, remember the
following:
1. Estimate the measurement. Making estimates will give you a frame of
reference.
2. Compare your estimate using standard or nonstandard units.
3. Read the value shown on the instrument as accurately as possible.
Collecting and Interpreting data
Information gathered from observations, doing experiments, and
measurements from standard and non-standard instruments are considered as data.
These data can be recorded, organized, and interpreted. These data can be organized
through tables and graphs. Data can be interpreted by analyzing, looking for
patterns and relationships. In the next module, you will learn more about how to
create visuals (tables and graphs) based on gathered data as well as how data can
be interpreted.
Predicting
Predicting is the skill of anticipating the possible outcome or results of things
and events based on previous experiences. For example, when the sky is dark, we
often say that it is about to rain. This process involves predicting as before the rain
occurs, you had anticipated that it will rain soon because of the dark clouds that you
see. You were able to predict it as you had experienced the process before.
Communicating
In doing research, communication is very important both in the process of
doing the study and in sharing the results of the study. In the real world, research
conducted is beneficial if its findings are shared to others in different forms of
communication. Research is often conducted collaboratively, that is two or more
individuals are doing the study together. In this case, communication between and
among researchers is very important as it is through this process that ideas are
exchanged so that the study will be done accurately and successfully. New and better
ideas result from communication and collaboration. In addition, researches,
experiments, and studies conducted will better serve the society if its results and
findings will be shared with others, this is also done through communication. Results
10
of the study can be communicated through presenting one’s study in science fairs,
in research congress, and even in sharing it with your acquaintances and friends.
Are the basic science process skills familiar to you now? Amazing, as these
skills are the same skills that are useful in our everyday lives. Moreover, these skills
can be improved and enhanced with practice and training. Alright, let’s check what
you have learned.
