State a hypothesis for this
investigation
Using the information
above, &rite a hypothesis
4ypothesis can be made based on the
inference.
.ook for +hat to hange and +hat to
!eas#re
5elates bet&een &hat to change and
&hat to measure
The heavier the $oa% the $onger the
s"ring,
he bigger / the smaller
he longer / the shorter
he thicker / the thinner
he more / the least
#s the -+eight o. the $oa% / increase,
the -$ength o. the s"ring / also
increase
#s the number of pupil increase the
classroom temperature also increase
What can you conclude
from this activity/fair test.
State your conclusion
based on the activity/fair
test.
What the result means?
What have you learnt
from this activity?
he results/findings from an activity/ fair
test
It relates bet&een +hat is hange% and
+hat is !eas#re%,
Use Siene Cone"t
When / If /#s 6+hat to hange7
increase / decrease, the 6 +hat to
!eas#re8 increase / decrease.
eg
#s the ti!e to heat the +ater
increase, the +ater te!"erat#re also
increase
