Short Review
SHORT REVIEW QUESTIONS

Q1. Name one of the important components/parts of


a scientific investigation.

 Aim/ask a question
 Method/ what to do/procedure
 Results/what you measured/data
 Conclusion/what you learned.

SHORT REVIEW QUESTIONS

Q2. What are some of the things you can do to


make sure your experiment is a fair test?
To make sure it’s a fair test you have to change
something, measure something and keep everything
else the same or you have to measure everything
accurately, OR regarding reliability, you have to
measure things three times.

SHORT REVIEW QUESTIONS

Q3. Why is fair testing important in conducting


scientific investigation?

Experiments in science have to be fair tests


otherwise the results might not be valid.

LESSON ACTIVITY
Fair Testing
Gabriel blew up some balloons with air and tied them along a
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 to get 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?” 13

to consider to make sure that his experiment is
a fair test?

Q2. What is Gabriel’s aim for the experiment?

Q3. If Gabriel’s experiment works out how he


thought it would, what should he write as his
conclusion?

Component 4B:
QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS (COMPONENT 4B)
Q1. What should Gabriel use to measure the air
temperature?

He should use a thermometer.

19
QUESTIONS (COMPONENT 4B)
Q2. How should he do to determine accurately the
size of the balloons?

He should measure the long and short diameters


(using a ruler), or circumference/s (using a tape
measure).

20
QUESTIONS (COMPONENT 4B)
Q3. What are some of the things that Gabriel needs
to consider to make sure that his experiment is
a fair test?
 All the balloons he is using must be the same type and the same
size to begin with.
 He must use the same method to measure size of the balloons
and the same thermometer to measure the temperature each time.
 He must do the experiment all on the same day so that the
weather conditions are the same for all the measurements.
 He could keep some balloons inside to checkthe effects of outside
conditions on balloons.
21
Component 4C:
QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS (COMPONENT 4C)

Q1. How should Gabriel write down all his


measurements?

He should write down his measurements in a


table form.

23
QUESTIONS (COMPONENT 4C)

Q2. What is Gabriel’s aim for the experiment?

His aim is to prove that balloons expand and


even burst when the temperature rises.

24
QUESTIONS (COMPONENT 4C)
Q3. If Gabriel’s experiment works out how he
thought it would, what should he write as his
conclusion?

In his conclusion he should write that the results


showed that as the temperature increased the size
of the balloons also increased.
