8. Did the length of time the flame extinguished vary when the candles were covered
with bottles of different sizes?
a. Yes, it can be seen from the table that the bigger the jar is, the longer the time the
candle will burn.
b. Yes, the smaller the jar is, the longer the candle will burn.
c. Yes, the flame extinguished faster in the biggest jar.
d. Yes, the bigger the jar is, the shorter the time the candle will burn.
9. Why do you think when you cover the lighted candle with a jar, the flame goes
out?
a. The result of a chemical reaction between the wax gas and the oxygen in the air is
the candle flame. When you cover a candle with a jar, it only has a limited amount
of oxygen. When that runs out, the candle can’t burn anymore, so the flame died out.
b. When you lighted the candle, the heat melts the wax and turns it into a liquid.
When you cover a candle in a jar, the liquid will extinguish the flame.
c. The oxygen will be trapped in the jar so the flame of the lighted candle goes out.
d. The oxygen will escape from the jar.
10. What conclusion can you draw from the tabulated data?
a. Air is needed in burning, therefore the smaller the jar the longer the time the
candle will burn.
b. The lesser the air inside the jar, the longer the candle will burn.
c. The flame distinguished faster in a bigger jar.
d. Air is needed for burning, therefore the more air inside the jar the longer the time
the candle will burn.

Notes to the Teacher
What’s New
The process of collecting, organizing, and interpreting data will help the researchers/
students organize all of their measurements so that they can make their information
easier to use and interpret.
Trends are often observed overall or for a selected segment of the graph. When
observing a graph to identify its trend, there are usually different options to describe
what you're seeing. Here are some examples:
1. One variable increase as the other increases
2. One variable decrease as the other increases
3. There is no change in one variable as the other increases or decreases
1. .
Dependent Variable
Independent variable
As the independent variable increases, the dependent variable also increases (the
line slants upward).

What is It
Information or data can be derived from different sources. These sources include
observation of actual objects as well as charts, tables, and graphs. Interpreting data
involves reading and understanding them. This includes being able to explain the
data presented and using the information to answer the questions.
In this activity, you will think of a possible answer to the problem “What effect does
the drop height have on the bounce height of a ball?”
Clarence performed an experiment to prove the hypothesis, “If the drop height
increases then the resulting bounce height of the ball also increases”

The mean is the sum of the value of the data divided by the total number of cases.
It is represented by symbol x̅, the formula for the mean is x̅ =∑ x/n.
Example: Example: 5,10,15,20,25 (mean=15)
Mean is appropriate for interval and ratio data.
It is not appropriate to use the mean if the given values are extreme (very large and
very small). For example: 10,40,80,120,170 mean=84
Other measures of central tendency like median or mode can be used in this case.
Median is the middle value of a set of data when the data are arranged in ascending
or descending order. If the given set of data are even numbers, the median is the
average of the two middle values, and if it is odd, the median is the middle values.
9
Median is used for ordinal, interval, and ratio data.
Example: 3 4 7 9 12 median=7
4 7 8 12 18 25 (8 +12= 20/2) median=10
1.) 4 8 12 16 20
2.) 8 9 10 18 20 21
The mode is the value of the variable that occurs most often.
Example: 20 25 30 32 32 40 45 50 mode=32
Variation is a measure of spread within the data tells you how far the individual
value is from the mean or from other measures of central tendency. One of the basic
measures of variation is range. It is the difference between the highest and lowest
values.
Example: 12 13 14 15 16 (16-12) range =4
IV. Write a statement stating how the data supports the hypothesis.
Conclusions summarize whether the experiment results support or contradict the
hypothesis. If the results of your experiment support that your hypothesis is true,
summarize how this occurred by comparing the relationship between the
independent and dependent variables. If the results of the experiments or surveys do
not support the hypothesis and prove the hypothesis is false, you should not change
or manipulate the results to support the hypothesis. Simply explain why things did
not go as expected.

What’s More
Read and analyze the data to draw conclusion. Write your answer in your activity
notebook.
Procedure:
1. What I See:
a. From the given graph below, draw an arrow to trend/pattern you see.
b. Write a caption that summarizes your observation (what you see for each arrow).
2. What It Means:
After identifying the trend/pattern, you will interpret the graph by making meaning
to what you have observed. For the caption you wrote, write a statement that
explains what trend/pattern or difference you see means.
3. Draw a Conclusion.
a. Use the observations above to develop an understanding of what the entire graph
is showing.
b. Write a topic sentence that explain what the graph shows. Combine “What I See
and What It Means” captions into a single sentence that connects the two ideas. You
can also use the graph title and variables to construct your statement/conclusion.

are less molecules in a greater volume of water, thus it will take less time to lose
heat energy.
c. The greater the volume of water, the faster the heat loss. Since there are more
molecules in a greater volume of water, thus it will take more time to less time to
lose heat energy.
d. The lesser the volume of water, the slower the heat loss. Since there are more
molecules in small volume of water, thus it will take more time to lose heat energy.
