Science year 62013Be the best , beat the rest.Study Science is interesting and full of fun but..You must develop your own skill.Memorising doesnt help.You must understand the latest format of this lesson.Here are your usefull TIPS

Do I qualified ?What will I get ?

SECTION BConsist 5 Question ( 5 Themes )MAKING INFERENCESPREDICTINGCONTROLLING VARIABLES ( w.t.c / w.t.o / w.t.k.s )MAKING HYPHOTHESIS ( state the relationship between 2 factors )STATE TREND @ PATTERNMAKING CONCLUSIONSTATE THE AIMS OF INVESTIGATION

Making Inferences To evaluate students in making general statements by giving any reasonable answer by stating cause and effects. Students must be able to give any reasonable answer by interpreting datain the stimulus.

Sample questionsWhat can you infer the number of frog in month July ?Give 2 inferences why the height of plantB didnt change ? Explain your answer in ( c ).

What can you infer according to the number of turtle in year 2003 and 2004.The turtle has been killed.The turtle moved to another place.The turtle doesnt reproduce in that year.

PredictionTo test students ability to predict or to make assumption through any data that given in the questions.Normally prediction more to the numerical ( mathematical skill.)

Sample question. 325 519 8?14 1210 __ __23 5

Prediction through daily experience or through observation

Controlling VariablesTo test students understandings in what has to keep the same , what to change and what to observe while conducting or when carry out any fair test.

Students should well known with this three major elements in any investigation or experiments.

What to keep the same ?Any factors or elements that should be kept the same while conducting a fair test.Normally things that should be kept the same can be found whether in the diagram or in the statement.Students should well known through this item.

Figure 3 shows the apparatus used by Rohaya in an experiment. The bobs of the pendulums have the same mass. She used the same size and type of string.Types of stringSize of the stringMass of pendulums

What must be change Any factors or elements shows in the diagram or graph or table are change or not the same while the fair test is carry out.The result of the experiment base on this matter.

What to change ?Size of the beakers

Table 1 below shows the distance taken by a toy car after been pushed on different surfaces in 20 seconds.Types of the surface

Types of surfaceDistance (m) Glass3Play wood2Bitumen0.5Carpet1

What to observe / whats your finding ?What to measure The result of any fair test or experiment is considered as what to observe / measure

Tips: Student must have ability to determine this factor either in the table , diagram or in the statement.

Water temperature

Which model fall first

Number of nails that can be supported

Making hypothesis / State the relationship between two factors. Normally student just make one statement by adding with what to change and what to observe. Sample answer: To investigate / find out the relationship between the number teaspoon of salt and the time taken to dissolved.w.t.cw.t.o

Check your understandingThe size of the shadow was measured each time the object is moved nearer to the light source. To investigate the relationship between the distance of the object fromthe light source and the size of the shadow.What to changeDistance of the objectfrom the light sourceWhat to measureSize of the shadow

State the trend / pattern Students are advisable to study the pattern of data that has given in the question.

The answer normally in either one word , two words or three words. Sample answer Increasing Decreasing Remain , Same

Check your understandingState the trend or pattern of this data.2 , 4 , 6 , 8, 10 4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 20 24 , 22 , 20 , 18 , 1630 , 28 , 26 , 28 , 306 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 10 , 8 , 68 , 10 , 12 , 16 , 16 , 14 , 12 , 10IncreasingIncreasingDecreasingDecreasing , IncreasingIncreasing , DecreasingIncreasing , Remain , Decreasing

Decreasing

Making conclusionMake one statement to conclude the finding of the fair test or investigation.

Sample answer: As the number of grasshopper increase / decrease the number of snake increase / decrease too.

Sometimes using a general statement also can be use as a conclusion. To use this statement students must be able to recognise the situation given.Sample statement. 1. Plants need sunlight to grow.2. Light travelled in straight line.3. Rusty is caused by the present of air and water.

Check you understanding.Light travel in a straight line.

Electric current produce heat

Aim / Purpose of the investigation Students are advisable to use the sample answers of making hypothesis.

To investigate / to find out the relationship between amountof water and time taken to boiled.What to observeWhat to change

To investigate the relationship between stored temperature and the percentage of fungi growth.What to measure / observeWhat to change

A small ball was pushed with the same force along different surfaces. Table 1 shows the time taken by the ball to move a distance of 2 meters on different surfaces. To investigate the relationship between types of surfaceand time taken by the ball to move.w.t.cw.t.m

Another short break !!!! Show to yourself that you are entitled to get A in Science.

Complete the task given without any mistake. GOOD LUCK

REMEMBER Do exercise regularly. Keep on reading especially your TEXT BOOK. Enhance your VOCABLUARY. Improvise your grammar. Always ask blessing from Allah by recite a DOA.

THATS ALL FOLKS !!

MAY GOD BLESS WE ALL
