Introductory Message
Welcome to Research I!
The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Cadiz and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.
The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.
For learning facilitator:
The Research 1 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.
For the learner:
The Research 1 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning

even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful
and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully
read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule

Designing Experiment
I. Learning Competency with Code
Design an experiment (SSP-RS7-IPS-lI-l-14)
Support Competency:
1. Identify the experimental and control setups
2. Differentiate experimental setup from control setup
II. Background Information for Learners
Now that you have learned about research problem, the types of variables,
and hypothesis in the previous lessons, you are now ready to design a simple
experiment. An experiment is a type of research where you measure the effect
of one or more variables that are manipulated (independent variable), to the
dependent variables (result of the manipulation).
A good experimental design defines clearly what the research topic and
research problem is all about. If you have a well-defined research problem, you
can set objectives and predictions which can be tested to answer your problem.
You can then assign your variables to be manipulated and see their relationship.
In this learning activity, you will learn to design a simple experiment.
III. Activity Proper
Steps of Designing an Experiment
(adapted from Keppel et. al., 1992)
1
Types of Set-ups
Experimental Setup/ Group- group of subjects that is exposed to a certain

treatment or intervention.
Example: The Golden Apple Snails that will be sprayed with the Tubang Bakod
Leaves Extracts.
Control Setup/Group- the group that is used as a standard and does not receive
the experimental treatment.
a. Positive Control (positive result is expected and allows the researcher to show
that the setup is capable of producing results)
b. Negative Control (no response is expected and uses a sample that is not
expected to work)
c. Untreated Control (no treatment is applied to the samples)
Example: The Golden Apple snails that will not be sprayed with any solution
(untreated control) or will receive the commercial molluscicide (positive control) or
distilled water (negative control).
Activity 1
Directions: Study the sample setup below and answer the following questions.
Eiko is doing an experiment to determine the best fertilization plan for bean plants.
She will test four groups of four plants using this schedule.
1. Which one is the experimental group?
______________________________________________________________
2. Which one is the control group?
______________________________________________________________
3. How do you differentiate experimental group from control group?
______________________________________________________________

Activity 2.
Directions: You will now design your own experiment in order to test the effect of the
extracts from the neem leaves to 3 days old wrigglers, using the following materials:
20, 3 days old wrigglers taken from the same area, (3) 50 mL beaker, 30 mL fresh,
mature neem leaves, Medicine dropper, Timer. Fill out the table below
Hypothesis Variables of the Study Setup Materials

of the Dependent Independent Control Experimental to be
Study used
Guide questions:
1. What is the study all about?
2.What have you observe with the wrigglers while the treatment is going on?
3.What is the effect of your treatments to the wrigglers?
4. How are these observations related to the effect of the Neem extracts to the
wrigglers?
5. Can you think of other ways of controlling wrigglers?

Activity 1
1. Group B, C, and D
2. Group A
3. Experimental group receives a treatment or intervention while Control
Group doesn’t receive an experimental treatment or intervention.
Activity 2 (Table)
1. Hypothesis of the Study
Null Hypothesis (Ho): The extracts from the Neem leaves could not kill wrigglers.
Affirmative Hypothesis: The extracts from the Neem leaves cannot kill wrigglers.
2. Variables of the Study
Dependent Variable: condition of the wrigglers (dead wrigglers)
Independent Variable: Extracts from the Neem leaves
3. Setups
Control setup: 10 wrigglers placed in 20 mL canal water (untreated)
Experimental setup: 10 wrigglers placed in 20 mL canal water, dropped with 10
mL Neem extracts
4. Materials to be used
20, 3 days old wrigglers taken from the same area, (3) 50 mL beaker, 30
mL fresh, mature Neem leaves, Medicine dropper, Timer.
Activity 2
Guide Questions:
1. The effect of Neem extracts to wrigglers.
2. The wrigglers float in the water and they stopped to wriggle.
3. The wrigglers will die after their exposure to the Neem extracts.
4. The neem extracts were able to kill the wrigglers.
5. Wrigglers can be controlled using other plant extracts from tubang
bakod, eucalyptus, oregano.
