Why scientific method?

Learning Outcomes
•By the end of the class, my students will be able to :▫Formulate a scientific hypothesis▫Design a simple experiment based on the
formulated hypothesis

Start from an Observation: An ExampleHandphone’s signal drops when we enter the lift

Scientific Hypothesis and Experiment
• Hypothesis:▫ The signal inside a metal
lift is lower than inside other materials.
• Main criteria:▫ Test-able.▫ Test one idea only.
• Experiment:▫To test: Measure signal strength in a
mock up lift that is built using different materials (metals, wood, glass, etc).
▫Expected outcome: signal strength in metal mock up lift is lower than other materials.
• Test the hypothesis.
• What is the expected outcome? ▫ Accepting or rejecting hypothesis

More Examples
•Revising a hypothesis:▫There is no signal inside a metal lift.▫The signal drops when the handphone is
inside a confined lift and the lift is moving.▫Signal is low when the lift is far from the
repeater point.
