I.
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
a. Explain Predict, Explain, Observe, Explain (PEOE) as a
scientific investigative process ,
b. validate their hypothesis by conducting an experiment, and
c. propose a feasible experimental setup for their research
hypothesis
II.
Subject Matter:
A. Topic: Introduction to Research II
a. Sub-topics:
i. Hypothesis-making
ii. Experimentation
Grade Level: Secondary Grade 7 Science
Concept:
Hypothesis an educated guess.
Types of Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis refers to a negative response.
Alternative Hypothesis refers to a positive
response.
Experimentation conducted to test hypothesis.
Steps in PEOE
Predict Hypothesis-making
Explain hypothesis
Observe Design an experiment
Explain observation

C. Instructional Strategy: Predict, Explain, Observe, Explain (60minutes)
D. Instructional Materials: Chalk, Whiteboard marker, Powerpoint
presentation, LCD projector, Illustration board, Speaker, Eraser,
Laboratory materials
E. Values Integrated: Open-mindedness, and Patience
a. Students will be able to accept ideas from their peers as a
part of learning and they will also be willing to wait for results
to happen in an experiment.
F. Skills: Keen Observing, and Critical Thinking
a. Students will enhance their observation skills by means of
listening and thorough experimentation and develop their
critical thinking skills evident in reasoning for hypothesis and
experimentation.
G. Integration to Other Subject Areas:
a. English
i. Students will incorporate their knowledge in analysis as
well as in comprehension to be able to state the
problem, hypothesize, and draw ideas from conducting
experiments.
b. Physics
i. Students will be able to listen to the sound clips as an
application of their lesson in waves, sound waves in
particular to predict what is being asked.

a. Prayer

c. Seating Arrangement (Small Group)
d. Checking of Attendance
e. Motivation
i. Whats that Movie?
1. Teacher groups the class into six groups using
stick method.
2. Teacher tells the students to take their respective
seats according to group number.
3. Teacher explains to the students the mechanics of
the activity as follows:
a. Each group is given a set of materials (Earshaped illustration board, Chalk, Eraser).
b. Each round is composed of a movie sound
clip in which they have to predict the movie
in which the sound belongs.
i. Sounds are played twice for each
round
1. Sounds to be played:
a. The Hunger Games
b. Slumdog Millionaire
c. The Lorax
d. Kung Fu Panda
e. Alvin and the Chipmunks
Chipwrecked
f. Shrek
g. Cars 2
h. Rio
i. Brave
j. The Smurfs
c. Each team is given only ten seconds to write
down their answers after the teacher says
Go.
d. After which, all teams should raise their
boards for their answers to be checked.
e. The team who would get the highest score
after ten (10) rounds will be declared the
winner.
Question:
What have you done in the previous activity?
Expected answers:
Listen Guess Predict Hypothesis
Reinforcement:
In research, this is called hypothesis making. You draw a hypothesis
(an educated guess) from your observations which could be answer to your
formulated problem.
Lesson Proper: Hypothesis making
Two (2) types of hypothesis:
1. Null Hypothesis Refers to a negative response towards the
proposed problem.
a. Sunflower seeds will not grow on an acidic soil.
b. Melting is not an evidence of physical change.
c. There is no significant relationship between age and height.
i. Guide Question:
1. Is there a change in the sample?
b. Each group is to perform each assigned laboratory activity.
c. Each group must identify the problem presented that leads to
a hypothesis and experimental as such.
d. Each group must observe and eliminate one of the given
hypothesis.
e. Each group will report their output to the class afterwards.
Question:
What have you done in the previous activity?
Expected answers:
Do an experiment Observe
Reinforcement:
This is called experimentation in research. In this, you are to design
an experiment that is feasible to your problem and can validate your
hypothesis.
Lesson Proper: Experimentation
Sample Situation:
Elsa is wondering on what type of soil sunflower seeds grows the best.
She prepared an experimental setup to investigate her aforementioned
problem.
Variables present in an experiment:
1. Controlled variable variable that is not manipulated throughout
the whole experiment.
a. Ex. Sunlight, Amount of water, Sunflower seeds
Steps in PEOE
Predict Hypothesis-making
Explain hypothesis
Observe Design an experiment
Explain observation
Generalization:
Teacher will allow students to generalize their own learning by
using the statement:
PEOE process is . . .
In research, hypothesis making is . . .
In research, experimentation is . . .
