Scientific Method Web Quest
A Web quest for 7th grade
Design by
Ian Dwight H. Sabellina idsabellina@gmail.com INTRODUCTION
To collect information about the biological world, we use two mechanisms: our sensory perception and our ability to reason. We can count the types of trees in a forest with our eyes, we can identify birds in the rainforest canopy with our ears, and we can identify the presence of a sampaguita flower with our nose. However, our reason permits us to make predictions about the natural world. Scientists attempt to predict and perhaps control future events based on present and past knowledge. The ability to make accurate predictions hinges on the seven steps of the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
This Web quest is designed for you to guide you with all the steps needed in conducting laboratory experiments and even reality-connected experiments, such as making choices and decisions. THE TASK
In this web quest, you and your group mates will be responsible in giving brief information about the seven steps of Scientific Method. The group will be asked to present the output in an interactive PowerPoint which requires the following:
1. Visual Representation
The texts’ size and boldness must be visible. The slideshow must contain 10-20 pictures that are appropriate and have connections to the topic. Background of the presentation must fit with the theme used. Enough and concise information are written.
2. Clarity of Delivery
This will involve the loudness and way of delivering the presentation. The message must reach to the student situated at the last row. English is the mode of communication however, vernacular is allowed in terms of clarification such as raising questions.
3. Content
The presentation must contain maximum of 12 slides and minimum of 8 slides. There must be detailed information in every step of the Scientific Method. There must be closeended questions for the viewers.
4. Student Engagement
This will compromise the active participation of the
