SPS (SECTION B) Inference Variables - changes - measured - kept the same Hypothesis Predicting Tabulating data -Trend of change // pattern - aim/ purpose - relationship - conclusion

INFERENCE

To ability to make a logical statement to explain the cause and effect of an observation. The criteria are :

To state a reasonable explanation of the observation To state other reasonable explanation of the observation To state additional observation to test the accuracy of the inference (explanation)

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.

State one inference about tadpole Q. Because has layer of oil Right // wrong Q is dead because has layer of oil Q is dead because has no air
Right // wrong
Correct answer that has a scientific knowledge and related to the investigation

INFERENCE

Table 1 shows the observation recorded by Izhar after 7 days

State one observation of plant P and Plant Q based on the result above. Plant P not get sunlight, plant Q get sunlight Plant P inside the black box, plant Q placed under the sunlight Plant P wilted

1 mark Plant P wilted while plant Q grow healthily 1 mark

Plant P wilted, plant Q grow healthily

Table 1 shows the observation recorded by Izhar after 7 days

Give one reason based on the observation of plant P and plant Q Because plant P did not get enough sunlight 0 mark Because plant Q get enough sunlight
0mark

Because plant P did not get enough sunlight and plant Q get enough sunlight 1 mark
Because plant P did not get enough sunlight to make their own food compared to plant Q 1 mark

In another fair test, a big hole is cut into the black box. After one day, the plant inside the black box bent towards the hole Explain the statement above Because plant response to sunlight The shoot of the plant will response to the sunlight

State the trend of change in the time taken for water to reach the boiling point
Decreasing 40 30 20 10 0

What is the aim of this fair test?

Decreasing

To investigated the relationship between the number of batteries and the time taken for water to reach boiling points What is the relationships between the amount of electricity produced and the time taken for water to reach the boiling points The more the amount of electricity, the less the time taken for water to reach the boiling points

Plant in Vase A

Plant in Vase B

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

Other Obs : The leaves in Vase A is longer than

leaves 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.

Pak Mats Rabbit

Pak Abus Rabbit

O: Pak Mats rabbit is bigger in size compared to Pak Abus rabbit.

Additional/Special/Other : Observation : Pak Mats rabbit is heavier than Pak Abus 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 betweenMV .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 widerthe 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 pattern Sample Answer. To analyse the effect of heatto the metal rod. To find out the relationship between the number of batteries with the light from the bulb

6. Purpose and Aim of Investigation.

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:
This is to prove that. Answer can be similar to hypothesis.. The longer .the slower.
