Q & A
What is the definition of scientific inquiry?
-Scientific inquiry is the activity resulting from our curiosity to understand the world. It is a broad term that encompasses any activity, formal or informal, seeking explanations or answers to questions.
How does scientific inquiry differ from scientific research?
-Scientific inquiry is a broad term that includes any activity seeking answers, while scientific research is a systematic way to perform scientific inquiry, typically focused on a specific topic to gain or establish knowledge.
What is the main goal of scientific research?
-The main goal of scientific research is to answer a set of questions about a specific topic in a systematic and formal process.
Can you explain the term 'research and development'?
-Research and development (R&D) involves gaining knowledge or improving understanding of a certain topic (research) and then applying that knowledge to produce solutions, products, and materials (development) to address existing challenges.
What is the scientific method, and how does it relate to scientific research?
-The scientific method is the fundamental process in scientific inquiry used to answer specific questions through experimentation. It is the process by which scientific research is conducted to improve understanding of a specific topic.
Why is the scientific method taught at the basic education level?
-The scientific method is taught at the basic education level because it is the foundation for understanding how to perform experiments and tackle research, preparing students for more advanced scientific inquiry.
How does the scientific method apply to laboratory experiments?
-Laboratory experiments are opportunities for students to practice the scientific method by conducting controlled tests to answer specific questions and learn about scientific processes.
What is the role of a Capstone project in scientific inquiry?
-A Capstone project is a culminating academic task where students apply the scientific method and their learned skills to tackle their own research, integrating knowledge from previous years of performing experiments.
How does scientific inquiry contribute to society?
-Scientific inquiry contributes to society by leading to the invention of new technologies and solutions that benefit mankind, as individuals perform research, develop ideas, and create innovations.
What is the relationship between scientific inquiry and the corporate world?
-In the corporate world, scientific inquiry is often linked to research and development, where companies use scientific methods to innovate and solve challenges, leading to new products and services.
Why is it important to understand the terms scientific inquiry, scientific research, and research and development?
-Understanding these terms is important because they define the processes and goals of scientific work, from initial curiosity-driven exploration to systematic research and application of knowledge for practical solutions.
Outlines
🔬 Scientific Inquiry and Research Foundations
The paragraph introduces fundamental concepts in scientific exploration, including scientific inquiry, scientific research, and research and development. Scientific inquiry is defined as activities driven by curiosity to understand the world, which can be informal and broad. It serves as the basis for scientific research and the scientific method. Scientific research is a systematic approach to inquiry aimed at gaining knowledge about a specific topic. It is focused and involves answering a set of questions. Research and development (R&D) is mentioned as a process that involves both gaining knowledge and applying it to create solutions, products, and materials to address challenges. The scientific method is described as the fundamental process within scientific inquiry, used to answer specific questions through experimentation.
📚 The Scientific Method in Education
This paragraph discusses the progression of learning the scientific method from basic education to practical application. It explains that the scientific method is first introduced in high school and is fundamental to scientific inquiry. The method is practiced through laboratory experiments, which are opportunities to apply what is learned. As students progress, they are taught to perform experiments and eventually undertake their own research. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of the scientific method in education, leading to the ability to contribute to society through scientific inquiry and innovation.

Transcripts
I would just like for us to spend some
timea level setting you understanding of
these terms that are that you typically
encounter terms so we're going to begin
with you know uh defining with the
definition of scientific inquiry
scientific research scientific method
and research and development all right
so let's begin with the term scientific
inquiry so the term scientific inquiry
is activities resulting from our
curiosity to understand the world so
meaning that activity whether it is an
informal
activity that in itself is already an
act of scientific inquiry so broad term
so exploring
that's part of scientific inquiry and
most
importantly SCI iny is you seeking
seeking explanations or answers to your
questions so soad
term SCI scient
resarch term scientific inquiry and it a
scient scientific inquiry that serves as
the foundation upon which we develop or
scientific research and scientific
method research scienic
method formal terms scientific research
scientific method so what about
scientific research so scientific
research on the other hand it is a
systematic way to perform scientific
inquiry and we typically perform a
scientific research uh to gain or
establish knowledge uh about a specific
topic so I would give emphasis to that
to a specific topic so when you perform
scientific research you are trying to
understand one subject so meaning it's
focused all right so
so when you perform scientific research
most especially a college you're picking
a specific topic all right and the main
intention of scientific research is to
answer a set of questions about that
topic all right so it's a systematic and
a formal process all right most of you I
would assume had also heard of the term
research and development already and we
Loosely use this term
research and development was when I was
already working a corporate
world
um research is already is also involving
development so so like I said earlier
research it is to gain knowledge or to
improve our understanding of a certain
topic so once you have answered the
question meaning you have already done
your research development Pala so
development what we do is we apply
produce Solutions products and materials
so that you have perform research and
development
techology existing challenges that uh
you're faced with so Essence research
and development all right resarch I am
performing
r&
output outcome okay now so what about
the scientific method so scientific
method this is the most fundamental
process in scientific inquiry so imagine
when you perform scientific research you
I would like to model you
uh spread Co within that research topic
typically for you to understand or to to
to come up with an
explanation subject usually you have to
tackle one two or three questions the
process by which you answer each of
those three questions is what you call
the scientific method so so scientific
method to uh come up with answers to
specific questions so when you say a
scientific method you're trying to
answer it by
experimentation a set of questions can
improve your understanding of a specific
topic that is scientific research and
when you perform a multitude of
different scientific
research tackling the different aspects
of a much bigger field scientific
inquiry
so
um so this is also the reason
why first year High School
scientific method so it is the
scientific method that is first taught
at the basic education level so so
overall
design so scientific method first year
high school and then from your first
year third year typically you were
taught how to perform experiments no so
laboratory experiments so laboratory
experiments those are opportunities for
you to learn how to practice the
scientific method and then at all levels
whether it be a college or High School
level Capstone project Capstone project
fourth year and that is for the reason
since
years scientific method through
laboratory to tackle your own research
using what you learned from your first
three years of Performing experiments
reason and then if you chose eventually
to become a scientist or to become an
innovator just like me and your JP
that's when you truly perform scientific
inquiry okay and
then scientific inquiry
Conquest that's when you come up and
contribute to society by inventing new
technologies that would benefit mankind
so
