The steps involve in a scientific investigation
• Identifying a problem• Forming a hypothesis• Planning the experiment• Identifying and controlling
variables• Conducting the experiment
The steps involve in a scientific investigation
• Collecting data• Analysing data• Interpreting data• Drawing conclusions• Writing a report
SCIENTIFIC METHODS
Identifying the problems by observing or explaining the phenomenon
Identifying and controlling the variables that affect the study or the observations
Formulating the hypothesis in order to predict the phenomenon observed
Planning the investiga-tion to test the hypothesis
Carry out the investigation that had been planned. The following steps are suggested to follow: (a) Collecting data (b) Analyse the data (c) Interpreting the data (d) Making conclusion
Writing a report
SCIENTIFIC METHODS Diagram shows a flow chart of a scientific method.
SCIENTIFIC METHODS
EXPERIMENTING
Preparing tissue culture of a plant
The scientific investigationWriting a report• Objective:
State the aim of the experiment
• Problem statement:
Pose question about the observations made
The scientific investigationWriting a report• Hypothesis:
Formulate a preliminary explanation or prediction that will be able to explain what is going to happen during the experiment
• Variable: Identify and control the manipulated, responding and fixed variable
The scientific investigation
Writing a report• Materials and apparatus :
List the selection of materials and apparatus which will be used during the experiments
• Technique:State the technique involved to obtain the result
The scientific investigationWriting a report• Prosedure:
Write the instructions to carry out the experiment
• Result/presentation of data:Present the result in the form of simple diagrams, charts, graphs and tables. Include calculation, if there is any
The scientific investigationWriting a report• Discussion:
Analyse and interpret the data, then determine the relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable
• Conclusion:Draw a conclusion based on the hypothesis given whether the results support or refute the hypothesis
WORKSHOP :
Objective:
• To study the effect of temperature on the rate of enzyme reaction
Problem Statement:• P1: Manipulated variable / temperature
• P2: Responding variable/ rate of enzyme reaction
• H: relationship
Sample answer:
What is the effect of temperature on the rate of enzyme reaction?
What are the effects of temperature on (salivary) amylase activity on starch?
Variables :1. Manipulated:
Temperature
2. Responding:
Rate of enzyme reaction (catalysed by
salivary amalyse) / the time taken for the
hydrolysis of starch
3.Constant:
Volume of amylase / saliva // concentration of amylase// volume of starch// concentration of starch suspension
Hypothesis• P1: Manipulated variable / temperature
• P2: Responding variable/ rate of enzyme reaction
• H: relationship
• Sample answer:
• The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of enzyme reaction
Apparatus and materials:• Beaker / basin• Test tube/ visking tubing / boiling tube• Syringe / measuring cylinder• Stopwatch• Heater/ kettle/ bunsen burner , tripod stand/ wire
gauze• (1%) starch suspension• Saliva / amylase suspension• Water• Ice cube• Iodine solution/ Benedicts solution/ any suitable
food test
Technique:
• Using a stopwatch, record the time taken for the hydrolysis of starch / substrate/ starch to disappear.
• //CALCULATE the rate of enzyme reaction using the formula = 1__
time
PROCEDURE:
• K1: Setting apparatus
• 1. Use a syringe to put 5ml of 1% starch suspension into each of the test tubes labelled A1, B1
• 2. Use a syringe to put 2ml of saliva/ amylase solution into each of the test tubes labelled A2,B2.
• 3. Immersed test tubes A1 and A2 into water bath with temperature 100C
Procedure• K1: Setting Apparatus
• 4. After 5 minutes of immersion, pour the starch suspension from test tube A1 into test tube A2/ stir the mixture using a glass rod.
• 5. Start the stop watch immediately.
• 6. Use a dropper to put a drop of mixture from the test tube A2 onto the iodine solution in the first groove of the white tile
• 7. Repeat the iodine test for every minute for 10 minutes
Procedure
• K2: operating constant variable
• 1. Put 5 ml / 1% starch solution
• 2. 2 ml of saliva
Procedure
• K3: Operating responding variable
• 1. Record the time taken for the hydrolysis of starch / iodine solution gives a negative test // no blue black colour by using a stopwatch
• 2. Record the result in a table (plot a graph showing the rate of reaction (1/t)
against temperature (0C)
Procedure
• K4: Operating manipulated variable
• 1. Repeat the steps for this experiment for 200C, 300C and 400C
• // repeat the experiment from using warm water to cold water
Procedure
• K5: Precaution.
• 1. Rinse the mouth before collecting the saliva
• 2.//Rinse the dropper after each sampling
• 3// keep the test tubes with the mixtures in their respective water baths throughout the experiment.
Data:
Temperature/(0C)
Time taken for the starch to disappear /
minutes
Rate of enzyme reaction / (min-1)
Conclusion:
• Sample answer:
• When temperature increases, the rate of amylase reaction increases.
