SCIENCE 7 ACTIVITY SHEET
` The Importance of Fair Testing
I. Objectives:
Determine the importance of fair testing
Activity Proper
Materials:
Pen and paper Manila Paper
Procedure:
Read and understand the following situation:
Gabriel blew up some balloons with air and tied them along the fence in his backyard to see what happened to them in
sunlight. Some balloons were in the shade of the tree. Gabriel wondered why some balloons started getting bigger – some even
got so big that they popped when they got very hot. “I think the balloons are getting bigger when the temperature is getting higher.”
He said to himself, “I wonder what experiment I could do to find out the answer and make sure it’s a fair test?”
Guide Questions:
1. What should Gabriel use to measure the air temperature?
2. How should he work out the size of the balloons accurately?
3. What are some of the things that Gabriel needs to make sure that they stay the same during his experiment so that it’s a
fair test?
4. How should Gabriel write down all his measurements?
5. What is Gabriel’s aim for the experiment?
6. If Gabriel’s experiment works out how he thought it would, what should he write as his conclusion?
