MODULE 5
TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY OF REVEALING
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to:
• Determine the steps of scientific method in solving
problems.
• Identify the importance of diversity and collaboration in
the scientific community towards human flourishing.
• Explain the concept of human conditions before and after
science and technology.
INTRODUCTION:
Science is a voyage of exploration just to find out work
and its really interesting because it is an ongoing and endless
process. People tend to look for the betterment of their lives
each and every day. The longer the people explore science, the
more the people become curious that science itself cannot answer
its own questions. Where did we come from?, are we alone in this
universe? Can we ever make humans better with science for their
happiness?, why does something exist rather than nothing? Why
are we here? These questions are yet to be answered
scientifically.
What are the steps of Scientific Method?
SCIENCE AS METHOD
Science is an organized way of studying things and finding
answers and questions. Scientific method is an approach to
seeking knowledge that involves forming and testing a
hypothesis. This methodology is used to answer questions in a
wide variety of disciplines. In school, this method is taught
in the earlier grade level. Though the number of steps is
different, it presents a general view of how to solve problems:
1. Observe and identify using senses the unexplainable
occurrences around you.
2. Identify the problem and identify the possible factors
involved.
3. Formulate hypothesis that could explain the said
occurrence, ideally the goal is to reject the null hypothesis
for the study to be significant and beneficial to the society.

4. Conduct experiment by setting up dependent and independent
variables and see how the independent variable affects the
dependent variable.
