1. OBSERVATION

• STATE WHAT YOU CAN OBSERVE IN THE TABLE/CHART/EXPERIMENT

• STATE WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE

Obs : Plant in Vase A is taller than plant in Vase B.

Other Obs : Other Obs : The leaves in Vase The leaves in Vase A is longer than leaves in A is longer than leaves in Vase BVase B

Plant in Vase A Plant in Vase B

2. Inferencing

• An early conclusion/ explanation from an observation why it happen - give reasons.

a) observation + why b) observation + cause c) relates observation with cause• Usually our previous knowledge and

experience will influence the conclusion. * Observe the phenomenon/object before and

after -using our senses.* Think why it happens – using our mind.

Additional/Special/Other : ObservationAdditional/Special/Other : Observation

: Pak Mat’s rabbit is heavier than Pak : Pak Mat’s rabbit is heavier than Pak Abu’s rabbitAbu’s rabbit

Answer Key for Inferencing

Sample Answers:

• The cockroach dies because there is no food.

• The leaves turn yellow because there is no sunlight.

• The chicken in Cage A is bigger compared to chicken in Cage B because chicken in Cage A is provided with nutritious food.

Answer Key to Inference(based on observation)

* Plant in Vase A is taller than in Vase B because it has more nutrients in the

soil.• Plant in Vase A is taller than in Vase B because it receives more sunlight.* Plant in Vase A is taller because there

is more space in the vase for the plant to grow.

3. Making Hypotheses• General statement about objects/ phenomenon based

on an observation whether it is true or false . It can be tested by carrying out a fair test (experiment).

• Hypotheses is build based on the inference.• It relates between manipulated variable and responding variable

Type of Questions:• What is the Hypotheses……• State a Conclusion• What Results can be expected……• State the relation between……MV …….RV• What do you understand in the experiment….(latest)• Explain the relationship between the 2 variables.

Sample Hypotheses Answer Key

• The higher the temperature / faster the melting…….. The higher the temperature the faster the salt

dissolves. The bigger/ quicker……. The bigger the area exposed the quicker the cloth

dries. The longer …….the wire / less power supply The thicker ……towel / more water absorbed The more……….sunlight / healthier the leaves The wider……………the field / the more grasshopper

• If there are more snakes then the number of frogs will decrease.

• When the legs are longer then the object is less stable.

4. To make prediction

• The process of guessing what will happen based on observation/information/ data/ or previous experience

• Make sure the answer ask to predict the previous or future results

• Look at the pattern ( 1,3,5,7 / 10, 15, 20, 25)

• From the pattern arrangement, predict your answer

Making predictions

• What happens if there are no more snakes in the food web?

• Predict what will happen to……• What is the temperature when water is

continued to be heated for another 10 minutes?

5. INTERPRETING DATA

Type of Question Key.• What is the title of this investigation?• What is the purpose of the investigation• State the patternSample Answer.• To analyse the effect of heat…to the

metal rod.• To find out the relationship between the

number of batteries with the light from the bulb

6. Purpose and Aim ofInvestigation.

• What is the purpose of this investigation?

• What is the aim of this experiment?

• To find out the.. • To investigate the..• To prove that..• To study the..

7. Variables

• There are 3 variables involved in an experiment.

• Manipulated Variable ( thing to change)

• Responding Variable ( thing to measure)

• Constant /Fixed Variable ( things to keep the same)

8. Making Conclusions

• This question is usually asked in the end of the whole experiment.

Answer Key:

1. This is to prove that….2. Answer can be similar to

hypothesis.. The longer …….the slower…….
