SCIENTIFIC SKILLS: MAKING HYPOTHESIS
KEMAHIRAN SAINTIFIK: MEMBUAT HIPOTESIS

TIPS:
 In a hypothesis statement : Must have the relationship between manipulated variable
and responding variable
 No words such as :To study
 Hypothesis can be tested

of convex lens with the focal length of the convex lens.

Sampel Answers
Sampel Jawapan

1 The thicker the convex lens, the shorter the focal length
Semakin tebal kanta cembung, semakin pendek jarak fokus

2 The nearer the distance of object , the bigger the size of image
Semakin dekat jarak objek, semakin besar size imej

3 As the time increases, the volume of gas increases

Semakin masa meningkat, isipadu gas meningkat

4 Metal X is less ductile than metal Y

Logam X adalah kurang mulur berbanding logam Y

5 As the distance of object is further, the size of image is smaller.

Semakin jauh jarak objek, semakin kecil size imej

6 As the mass of the trolley is heavier, the depth of dent is deeper is formed
Semakin bertambah jisim troli, semakin dalam lekuk yang terbentuk

7 The higher the concentration of antibiotic, the less the growth of bacteria
Semakin bertambah kepekatan antibiotik, semakin kurang pertumbuhan bakteria

8 As the time increases, the velocity of the toy car increases

Semakin bertambah masa, semakin bertambah halaju kereta mainan

9 Rubber Q is more elastic than rubber P

Getah Q adalah lebih elastic/kenyal daripada getah P

10 As the concentration of antibiotic increases, the diameter of clear area is bigger

Semakin bertambah kepekatan antibiotik, diameter kawasan jernih semakin
besar
