Formula Menjawab Soalan INFERENS Tips Observation because of Reason Exercise 1. Choose the correct answers.

Situation Pemerhatian/ Observations (What happened?) Inferens / Inference (Why it happened?)

Observations (What happened?) Thumb tack Z drop earlier Glowing splint burst into flame Raft float on water

Inferences (Why it happened?) Because test tube filled with oxygen. Because it is less dense than water Because thumbtack Z received heat first through conduction.

Situation

Pemerhatian/ Observations (What happened?)

Inferens / Inference (Why it happened?)

Observations (What happened?) A pop sound was heard Water in petri dish evaporate first The filter paper was corroded

Inferences (Why it happened?) Because acid is corrosive Because acids reacts with magnesium to release hydrogen gas Because the surface area in petri dish is larger

Situation

Pemerhatian/ Observations (What happened?)

Inferens / Inference (Why it happened?)

Observations (What happened?) The thumb tack of rod copper falls first The hydrogen carbonate indicator changed from red to yellow The tin becomes dented

Inferences (Why it happened?) Because the cigarette smoke is acidic. Because the higher high pressure outside compresses the tin Because copper is the best heat conductor than others.

Situation

Pemerhatian/ Observations (What happened?)

Inferens / Inference (Why it happened?)

Observations (What happened?) The lime water turns cloudy

Hot liquid moves upwards The hydrogen carbonate changes to yellow

Inferences (Why it happened?) Because cockroach and germinating seeds give out carbon dioxide during respiration.. Because hot liquid less dense than cool liquid. indicator Because limestone produces carbon dioxide

Situation

Inferens / Inference (Why it happened?)

Observations (What happened?) Indicator ink moves toward the boiling tube The flame of candle extinguishes after a while. Q is the most stable

Inferences (Why it happened?) Because the base are for Q is largest. Because cockroach use oxygen during respiration. Because oxygen is needed in combustion.
