​ REFLECTION IN SCIENCE

FOR ALL THE DISCUSSION AND ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAD IN SCIENCE I HAD
LEARN MANY THINGS. FIRST OF ALL I LEARN ALL ABOUT SCIENCE PROCESS
SKILLS WHICH ARE OBSERVING , DESCRIBING, INFERRING, CLASSIFYING,
ESTIMATING , MEASURING, COMMUNICATING, PREDICTING, COLLECTING, AND
LASTLY EXPERIMENTING. OBSERVING - DETERMINING THE PROPERTIES
THROUGH THE SENSES , DESCRIBING - WRITING OR TELLING ABOUT ONE OBJECT
,INFERRING - BUILDING UPON OBSERVING , DESCRIBING AND IDENTIFYING
,DRAWING CONCLUSION BASED ON WHAT WE SEE AND WHAT WE ALL READY
KNOW ,CLASSIFYING - GROUPING OBJECTS OR EVENTS ACCORDING TO COMMON
PROPERTIES OR OBSERVED CHARACTERISTICS , ESTIMATING - AN APPROXIMATE
CALCULATION OF QUANTITY , MEASURING - PUTTING A NUMBER OF
QUANTITIES UNDER OBSERVATION USING A SUITABLE INSTRUMENT TO GET THE
ACTUAL VALUE AGAINST A CERTAIN STANDARD,COMMUNICATING
-EXPRESSING IDEA ORALLY , IN WRITTEN FORM OR THROUGH GRAPHS,TABLES ,
DIAGRAMS , AND OTHER INFORMATION PRESENTATION , PREDICTING -
ANTICIPATING CONSEQUENCES OF A NEW OR CHANGE SITUATION USING PAST
EXPERIENCES AND OBSERVATION , COLLECTING - MAKING MEANINGFUL
INFORMATION AND RECORDING THAT WILL USED TO PREDICTION DATA AND
CONCLUSION , EXPERIMENTING - MANIPULATING MATERIALS TO TEST
HYPOTHESIS .

AND WE ALSO TACKLE ALL ABOUT OBSERVATION WHICH WE USE OUR

SENSES TO OBSERVED.AND IT HAS TWO TYPES THE QUALITATIVE OBSERVATION
AND QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATION. IN MY UNDERSTANDING QUALITATIVE
OBSERVATION WHICH WE USE OUR SENSES TO OBSERVE WHILE QUANTITATIVE
OBSERVATION WE USE MEASURING TOOLS OR NUMERIC TO OBSERVED.NEXT WE
DISCUSS PREDICTING AND IT’S TWO TYPES THE INTERPOLATION AND
EXTRAPOLATION.BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING INTERPOLATION IT IS A
PREDICTION BASED FROM OBSERVED DATA AND EXTRAPOLATION IT IS A
PREDICTION BEYOND THE OBSERVED DATA.

THEN WE DISCUSS ABOUT SCIENTIFIC METHOD.SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS A

TOOL THAT HELPS SCIENTISTS TO SOLVE A PROBLEM . THE 6 BASIC STEPS OF
SCIENTIFIC METHOD , FIRST IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM ,SECOND FORMULATE A
HYPOTHESIS,THIRD PERFORM AN EXPERIMENT ,FOURTH COLLECTING AND
RECORDING DATA , FIFTH ANALYZE THE DATA , AND LASTLY STATE THE
CONCLUSION. AND WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTIC OF A GOOD
RESEARCH PROBLEM , WE HAVE ORIGINAL , PRACTICAL , CLEAR , THE PROBLEM
IS ETHICAL , SIGNIFICANT , EXPRESS RELATIONSHIP .

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT HYPOTHESIS . HYPOTHESIS IS A TENTATIVE

ANSWER TO THE RESEARCH PROBLEM . WE HAVE 3 WAYS OF STATING THE
HYPOTHESIS. FIRST IS THE NULL FORM . SECOND IS THE ALTERNATIVE FORM ,
AND LASTLY THE CAUSE AND EFFECT STATEMENT. NULL FORM WE USED THE
STATEMENT “THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EFFECTS
OF’’. IN ALTERNATIVE FORM WE USED THE STATEMENT “ THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EFFECT OF’’. IN CAUSE AND EFFECT WE USED THE
STATEMENT “ IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EFFECT OF’’ .

AND WE DISCUSS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT VARIABLE , DEPENDENT

VARIABLE , AND CONTROLLED VARIABLE . BASED ON MY LEARNING’S
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE OR EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLE IS A VARIABLE THAT
CAN BE CHANGED FOR EXAMPLE DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF WATER AND
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE WOULD BE THE CAUSE. DEPENDENT VARIABLE OR
RESPONDING VARIABLE FOR ME THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENT AND
THIS IS THE EFFECT DUE TO THE CHANGES IN THE EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLE
FOR EXAMPLE RESULT OF TIME IT TAKES TO DISSOLVE .CONTROLLED VARIABLE
OR THE CONSTANT VARIABLE THIS IS A VARIABLE THAT IS UNCHANGED OR
THE VARIABLE THAT IS NOT CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE EXPERIMENT FOR
EXAMPLE SAME SIZE OF POT.

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT GRAPHS WE HAVE THE LINE GRAPH, PICTOGRAPH,

BAR GRAPH , PIE GRAPH AND LASTLY THE HISTO GRAPH . GRAPHS ARE USUALLY
HELP US TO IDENTIFY THE DATA MORE CLEARLY AND FAST.

THEN LASTLY WE TACKLE MATTER, AND MATTER MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS

SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE . SUBSTANCE CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS ELEMENT OR
COMPOUND . ELEMENT - METAL , NON - METAL AND METALLOID , COMPOUND
-ACID , BASE AND SALT . MIXTURE CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS HOMOGENEOUS AND
HETEROGENEOUS .SOLUTION CANNOT BE FILTERED , IT CAN BE A SOLID , LIQUID
OR GAS. SATURATED SOLUTION IS A SOLUTION CONTAINS THE MAXIMUM
AMOUNT OF SOLUTE DISSOLVED BY A GIVEN AMOUNT OF SOLVENT.
UNSATURATED SOLUTION IS A SOLUTION THAT CONTAIN LESS SOLUTE THAT IT
CAN POSSIBLY HOLD AT A GIVEN TEMPERATURE. SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION
A SOLUTION CAN BE MADE TO HOLD MORE SOLUTE THAN WHAT IS NORMAL
FOR THAT TEMPERATURE. WE ALSO DISCUSS ABOUT SOLUTE AND SOLVENT ,
FOR ME SOLVENT IS THE ONE WHO DISSOLVE TO THE SOLUTE AND SOLUTE IS
THE ONE THAT SOLVENT DISSOLVED. AND LASTLY THE CONCENTRATED
SOLUTION AND DILUTE SOLUTION . CONCENTRATED SOLUTION IS A SOLUTION
WHICH THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF DISSOLVED SOLUTE FOR A CERTAIN
VOLUME OF SOLVENT .DILUTE SOLUTIONS A SOLUTION THAT HAS A SMALL
AMOUNT OF DISSOLVED SOLUTE IN COMPARISON TO THE AMOUNT OF SOLVENT.

FOR ALL OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WE TACKLE , WE CAN APPLY IT TO OUR

FUTURE LIFE , LIKE FOR EXAMPLE IF IN THE FUTURE WE WILL BECOME A
SCIENTISTS BECAUSE OF THIS DISCUSSION OUR KNOWLEDGE IMPROVE AND
INCREASES . AND WE CAN ALSO USE THIS FOR OUR DAILY LIFE LIKE FOR
EXAMPLE WHEN WE WILL BUY A PRODUCT WE WILL USE THE QUALITATIVE
OBSERVATION TO SEE THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. AND THIS ARE ALL THE
KNOWLEDGE I LEARN IN ALL OUR DISCUSSION.
