1. CANDLE
Draw what you think the candle will look like when it is lit. Put your labels on your drawing.
Now light the candle.

3. SOILS
If you have three different kinds of soil, how would you find out which had the most water in it?
What kinds of process skills would you use to find the answer to the above question and to
describe the investigation you would do?

5. HINGED MIRROR
Place two mirrors at an angle so that reflections of the coin can be seen.
Count the reflections and measure the angle.
Repeal for angles of 30, and 90 degrees.
Can you see a relationship between the number of images you get and the angle between the
mirrors? (drawing a graph may help)
Use your results to say how many images you will get at 49 degrees.
See how near you are.

6. CARTESIAN DIVER
Squeeze the bottle and watch the "diver".
What differences do you see in each diver when the bottle is squeezed?
Try to use these observations to explain how it works.

7. CAN OF ICE
Put ice part way up in beaker.
Look at the outside of the beaker.
Write down as many possible explanations as you can of what you see.
Wipe off the beaker afterwards before you leave and empty the ice out into original container.

Take a strip of paper and hold it vertically with one end in the water.
Watch what happens for about a minute.
Write down any questions which occur to you as a result of your observations.

10. TOY ON DIFFERENT SURFACES

What process skills would it take to fill in the table for an investigation to find out whether the
kind of surface on which the toy is put makes a difference too how far it moves.
What will be changed?
What will be kept the same?
What will be measured?
(What process skills would you use to complete this task without having to actually do it?)

11. WIND-UP TOY

On a surface covered with paper a wind-up toy moves 23/4 inches given one turn of the
winder. 71/8 inches for two turns and 11 inches for three (Accept these results as if you had
obtained them).
Display these results in a form that will help you to predict how far the toy will go for four turns.

12. PENDULUMS
The two pendulums are of different masses. Use them to see if the mass of the bob makes any
difference to how fast a pendulum swings.
Are you entirely happy about the result and the way you found it? If not, suggest ways for
improving the investigation so that you would be quite confident about the result.
