  9. Hypothesis -can you guess what will happen? -educated guess or answer to the problem

  10. What is the Experimental Design? SETUP A: Plant with Fertilizer (Experimental Setup) SETUP B: Plant without Fertilizer (Controlled Setup)

  11. Both Setups have the same: Type of Soil, Amount of Water and Sunlight, and Plant Species

  12. Gather Data Plant A 0 month – 5 flowers 1 month – 10 flowers Plant B 0 month – 5 flowers 1 month – 6 flowers

  13. Record and Organize Data

  14. Organizing Data - Identify the patterns or trends in the data - Is your hypothesis supported by your data?

  15. Conclusion The plant applied with Miracle fertilizer has more flowers compared to the plant with no fertilizer. The Miracle Fertilizer will help the Plant produce more Flowers

  16. The Miracle Fertilizer is effective in producing more flowers in a plant

  17. Journal Writing (1/2 cw) Is it necessary to use SCIENTIFIC METHOD at all times?

  18. Assignment: Bring the ff: • Ant (Grp 1 and 8) • Grasshopper (Grp 2 and 7) • Butterfly (Grp 3 and 6 • Beatle (Grp 4 and 5)
