    A. Natural Phenomena
    1. Science is the systematic study of nature

    and its effects on us and the environment.


    2. Hence, it is the study of natural phenomena.

    3. Example of natural phenomena:


    a. A baby growing up and becoming an adult, b. An object falling to the ground, c. Ice melting, d. Lightning.

    4. Science helps us understand natural phenomena.

    Discovering the answers to all natural phenomena leads us to new scientific knowledge.

    B. The importance of science in everyday life.


    1. With scientific knowledge we can produce machines

    and appliances such as light bulbs, cars and computers.

    2. The application of scientific knowledge is called

    technology.

    3. Technology helps us to progress in every aspect of

    our lives as such:


    a. Transportation
    b. Communication c. Agriculture

    d. Medicine
    e. Construction

    C. Careers and Scientific Area of Study


    1. Careers in science include the following:
    a. Doctor - someone trained in medical science. b. Engineer - person who designs,build and maintains engines, buildings or roads.

    c. Nurse - a specialist in caring of patients


    d. Veterinarian- an animal doctor.

    e. Architect - a person who design buildings.

    f. Pharmacist - someone trained in the field of

    medicine and drugs.


    g. Chemist - someone trained in chemistry. C. Careers and Scientific Area of Study h. Computer programmer - a developer of computer

    software programmers.

    D. The study of science is divided into various fields:


    a. Astronomy - study of planets and stars.
    b. Biology - the study of life. c. Physics - the study of matter and energy. d. Physiology - the study of processes and functions of

    systems in the human body

    e. Geology - the study of rocks and minerals. f. Meteorology - the study weather and climate. g. Chemistry - the study of the composition and

    chemical properties of substances.


    h. Biotechnology - the study of the industry trial use of

    living organisms.
    i. Biochemistry - the study of chemical substances and

    chemical processes of living things.

    1.2 A Science Laboratory


    A. Discipline and Safety Rules in the Science laboratory 1. All pupils must follow safety rules and instruction from

    the teacher in the science laboratory.


    2. Some examples of safety rules and precautions: a. No eating or drinking in the lab. b. Horseplay, practical jokes, and pranks are dangerous and

    prohibited.
    c. Observe good housekeeping practices.

    d. Read the label on the bottle before using the

    Aim: To investigate how the length of a simple

    pendulum affects its swings Problem statement: Will a simple pendulum swing faster if its length is shortened? Hypothesis: When the length of a simple pendulum is shortened, it will swing faster

    Apparatus and Materials:

    Variables: Manipulative variable: Responding variable: Constant variable:

    Procedures:

    Copy procedure number 1 to 7

    Result: copy the table (change the length)

    Discussion:
    1. Does the swing faster as the length shortened?

    Conclusion:
