Instruction: Create your own scientific inquiry.
My Scientific Inquiry Name : Kapuk
OBSERVATION: (What you observe in your surroundings or in nature)
I observed that if a flower receives a lot of water, the blossom usually fall. And if it receives a few amount of water the blossom also fall.
INFERENCE: (Logical explanation drawn from prior knowledge and experience) I infer that a flower blossom will fall if it didn’t receive enough water.
QUESTION/PROBLEM: (What you want to know after observing a certain event or phenomena.
Start with the word Does/Do, How, What, When, Who, Which, Why or Where) How does the amount of water effect a blossom?
HYPOTHESIS: (A possible explanation that can be tested.) I hypothesize that the amount of water effects the amount of time a blossom can stay
longer.
PREDICTION: (if and then statement. Gives a glimpse of what you are going to do in your
experiment.) I predict if I add enough water to a flower, then the blossom will hardly fall.
VARIABLES: (These are the factors that you
must control to make the experiment
FAIR)
Independent: (The ONE factor that differs between the control group and the
experimental group) The amount of water
Dependent: (What you will observe or measure or count)
Whether the blossom will fall or not
Constant: (Factors you keep the same in the control group and the experimental group
throughout the experiment)
Kind of flower, temperature where it grows, shape of flowerpot
MATERIALS/APPARATUS: (Things you need to carry out the experiment) Flowers with a blossom each
Water flowerpot
PROCEDURE: (A list of steps/instructions that tell how to carry out the experiment. You can
add diagrams)
1. Plant three flowers with a blossom each in the flowerpot. 2. Water the first one twice a day, the second one once a day, the last one
once in two days. 3. Check every day if the blossom fall.
4. Record in the data table.
DATA TABLE: (A chart in which you will write your results or observations.)
Day Flowerpot A Flowerpot B Flowerpot C
1 no change no change no change
2 no change no change The blossom falls
3 The blossom falls The blossom fall There’s no blossom
4 One blossom grown One blossom grown There’s no blossom
ANALYSIS: (Study the results carefully and rewrite them in clear and complete sentences)
The water that added to flowerpot A is twice a day, the blossom can remain for 2 days.
The water that added to flowerpot B is once a day, the blossom can remain for 3 days, The water that added to flowerpot C is once in two days, the blossom can remain for 1
day.
CONCLUSION: (State whether or not the results support the hypothesis) The result of my experiments supported my hypothesis. According to my experiment,
flowers need enough water so that the blossom can stay long.
So much is enough??
COMMUNICATE: (Communicate your results to others in a final report, display board, power
point presentation, have it published in a scientific journal or present it in a scientific meeting.
Give your report or presentation an interesting title.)

have grown
