C. Lesson Proper/Presentation of the Lesson:

1. To begin with the lesson, give short background Information about the topic:
Scientists use an experiment to search for cause and effect relationship in nature, In other
words, they
design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way.
2. Disscuss the following;
Directions: Identify the independent and dependent variables in the following statements:
1. The more time people spend using social media, the less they read books.
Independent Variable: __________________________________
Dependent Variable: __________________________________
2. Drinking energy drinks makes people more focused for the rest of the day.
Independent Variable: ___________________________________
Dependent Variable: ___________________________________
3. Taking a nap in the afternoon make people more focused for the rest of the day.
Independent Variable: ___________________________________
Dependent Variable: ___________________________________
4. Spending time with a family dog decreases the amount of stress someone is feeling.
Independent Variable: ____________________________________
Dependent Variable: ____________________________________
5. Eating breakfast in the morning increases the ability to learn in the school.
Independent Variable: ____________________________________
Dependent Variable: ___________________________________
3. For the following experiments, identify the (IV) independent variable, (DV) dependent variable, (CG)
control group. For each item below, specify the independent and dependent variables, as well as
constants.
a. A study was done to find if different tire treads affect the braking distance of a car.

4. Post activity discussion

 Students will be asked to share their answer and to check if they can now identify the variables
in the given exercises.
D. Discussion (Indicate questions that will elicit answers from the students. Use HOTS as basis for formulating
questions)
Guide Questions:
To determine the experiment variables, ask yourself:
 What factors am I trying to test? Answer: Independent Variable
 What factors will I use to measure the progress of my test? Answer: Dependent Variable
 What factors to I need to keep constant? Answer: Controlled Variable
 E. Generalization
Lesson Closure: Science experimets use….
 Variable – is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types
 3 Types of Variables
 Independent variable–change one thing (manipulative)
 Dependent variable – measure something (responding)
 Controlled variable – keep everything else the same(constant)

F. Application
It is important for an experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you
change one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.
G. Evaluation
Direction: Place each box if the given statement inside the box is Independent Variable, dependent variable or
controlled variable.
