SAMPLE SCIENTIFIC SKILLS QUESTIONS INFERENCE SCIENTIFIC SKILLS QUESTIONS
MAKING INFERENS MEMBUAT INFERENS Making an initial conclusion to explain an event based certain causes or reasons. Membuat kesimpulan awal, penerangan, atau alasan • State a reasonable explanation from the observation. • State other reasonable explanation • State additional observation for the inferences.
Y X State two inferences about the growth of the two plants after a week. 1 Plant Y gets enough water compared plant X Plant Y gets enough sunlight compared plant X Pokok Y mendapat air/cahaya/ruang/baja/mineral yang mencukupi berbanding pokok X 2
An astronaut grows a species of plant at planet X. He found out that plants could not grow there. State two possible reasons for this observation. No air // No water // Far from the sun or // Near to the sun. Tiada udara//Tiada air//Jauh dari matahari// Dekat dengan matahari
Objects Do not light up the bulb Light up the bulb • Group A • String • Comb • Plastic ruler • Group B • Nail • Needle • Key State two inferences about the differences between objects in group A and group B. i A is insulator and B is conductor A is plastic and B is metal A penebat/plastik dan B konduktor/besi ii
Why the volume of water absorbed by the various objects were different? Different properties of the objects Keupayaan menyerap air setiap bahan berbeza
cactus rose plant Both plants were watered once in a week. After 3 weeks, the rose plant died while the cactus is still alive. State two inferences to explain why the cactus plant survived? i Its succulent stems can store water. ii Its needle-shape leaves reduce water loss. Batang kaktus menyimpan air Daun berbentuk duri mengurangkan kehilangan air
A B State your inference based on the result of the experiment. The grasshopper in container A is still alive because it has air to breathe. Belalang dalam bekas A hidup kerana ada udara untuk bernafas.
SAMPLE SCIENTIFIC SKILLS QUESTIONS VARIABLES SCIENTIFIC SKILLS QUESTIONS
Parameter Object + Size of the shadow CONTROLLING VARIABLES MENGAWAL PEMBOLEHUBAH State variables involved in an experiment. State What to change (Manipulated Variables) State What to measure (Responding Variables) State What to keep the same ( Controlled Variables) Key words to answer
a) State what is : Constant variables : Manipulated variables : Responding variable : Size of flower / type of flower Colour of flower Height of flower after 2 week

What to change (W2C) What to measure (W2M) Key words to answer As the (W2C) increases/decreases, the ( W2M ) increases/decreases. or Science concept or general statement can also be used to answer the question. Plants need water to stay alive // Light travels in straight line.
c) What is the pattern / the trend of : Number of seedlings: ........................ Average height of seedlings: ………………………… More/Increase Less/Decrease d) What can be concluded from this study ? The ………. ( Manipulated variables ) , the ……….. ( Responding variables ) The moreNumber of seedlings, the lessAverage height of seedlings
INTERPRETING DATA Key Word to answer TREND Increase / decrease /no change / same / more / less RELATIONSHIP The more / less ( MV ) , the more / less ( RV ) The more number of iron balls, the more level of water Conclusion The more / less ( MV ) , the more / less ( RV ) The more number of bulb, the dimmer brightness of bulb Use the science concept ( e.g) Plants need water to stay alive AIM To investigate the relationship between MV and RV
