QUESTION 1

A group of pupils carry out an investigation. They put the same

number of fish with the same size in each identical aquarium X
and Y. the size of the fish after one month is shown in the
following diagram.

a) State one reason to explain the difference in condition of the fish

in aquarium X and Y after one month.

b) Write one observation to support your reason in (a).

c) What is kept the same in the investigation? State one of them.

The size of the fish also depends on the cleanness of

the water.
d) Write one relationship based on the statement above.
QUESTION 2
An investigation is being carried out by a group of pupils as
shown in the diagram above.

a) Give one observation based on the investigation

b) State two possible reasons for what you have observed.
c) Write one hypothesis based on the answer in (b).
d) Based on the answer in (c), state;
i) what is changed:
ii) what is measured:
QUESTION 3
Three identical young seedlings were transfer into three identical
containers as followed. Diagram shows the condition of the plants
after two weeks.

a) Give reason why the plant in container C bigger than the

others.
b) Give another observation based on your reason in (a).
c) State two information gathered based on the investigation.
d) State;
a) what is changed:
b) what is measured:

e) What conclusion can be made based on this investigation

QUESTION 4
Table shows the result of an investigation by Nazurah. Four pots
with same size, pot K, L, M and N are planted with different
number of seedling. All pots have the same basic needs. The
number of leaves in each pot is shown below.
Pot Number of seedlings Number of leaves
K 2 12
L 3 11
M 5 9
N 7 7

a) State a reason the number of leaves for pot L from the

investigation given.
b) State what is kept the same.
QUESTION 4
c) State the trend for the number of the leaves

d) Predict the number of leaves if the number of seedlings is 6.

e) What conclusion can be made based on the investigation.

QUESTION 5
Three identical trolleys labelled P, Q and R were used in an
investigation to determine the effects of weight on frictional force.
A weight of 250 g was placed on top of trolley P which was then
let go from the top of an inclined plane as shown in Diagram 1.
The activity was repeated by placing different weights on trolley
Q and R. Table 1 shows the time taken by each trolley to reach the
bottom.
QUESTION 5
Trolley P Q R
Weight on trolley (g) 250 500 750
Time taken to reach the 5 10 16
bottom (s)

Table 1
a) What is the purpose (aim) of the investigation?
b) State one variable that is kept the same in this investigation.
c) State;
i) what is changed:
ii) what is measured:
d) State the relationship (hypothesis) between the variable that is
changed and the variable that is measured.
e) State two factors that affect the friction produced by the trolley.
QUESTION 6
A wooden block is placed on a cement floor. The block is given a
push and moves a distance of 22 cm before coming to a stop.
Some water is then poured onto the floor. The block is pushed
with the same force. The block moves a distance of 38 cm this
time.
QUESTION 6

a) What is the purpose (aim) of this investigation?

b) State one variable that is kept the same in this investigation.
c) State;
i) what is changed:
ii) what is measured:
d) Give one reason (inference) to explain why the block moved
further on the wet floor.
e) Predict the distance travelled if oil is poured onto the floor
instead of water.
QUESTION 7
A metal block wall pulled by different weights as shown in
Diagram 2. The distances travelled by the block are recorded.

a) State;
i) what is changed:
ii) what is measured:
QUESTION 7
b) What is the trend of change in the distance travelled by the
block?
c) What can be observed when no weight acts on the block?
d) State one reason (inference) to explain why the block does not
move when the 5 N weight is used.
