Science year 6

2013

Be 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

SECTION B
Consist 5 Question ( 5 Themes )

MAKING INFERENCES

PREDICTING

CONTROLLING VARIABLES ( w.t.c / w.t.o / w.t.k.s )

MAKING HYPHOTHESIS ( state the relationship
between 2 factors )

STATE TREND @ PATTERN

MAKING CONCLUSION
STATE 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 data
in the stimulus.

Sample questions
1. What can you infer the number of frog
in month July ?
2. Give 2 inferences why the height
of plant
B didnt change ?

Explain your answer in ( c ).

What can you infer according to the

number of turtle in year 2003 and 2004.

1. The turtle has been killed.

2. The turtle moved to another place.
3. The turtle doesnt reproduce in that year.

Prediction
To 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.)

Controlling Variables

To 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 string
Size of the string
Mass 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 surface

Distance (m)

Glass

Play wood

Bitumen

Carpet

Types of the surface

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.c

w.t.o

Check your understanding

What to change
Distance of the object
from the light source

What to measure
Size of the shadow

The 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 from
the light source and the size 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 understanding

State the trend or pattern of this data.
Increasing
1. 2 , 4 , 6 , 8, 10
2. 4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , Increasing

Making conclusion
Make

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 amount
of water and time taken to boiled.

Stored temperature /C

To investigate the relationship between stored temperature

and the percentage of fungi growth.

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.
