6. COMMUNICATING
• Based on the product label, describe the product.
• What can you say about this object?
• Tell us how you make the bulb lights up.
• Draw how the plant grows after 1 week.
• Name one plant that reproduces in the same way as the tapioca plant
• Describe what happens when you add water to it?
7.SPACE-TIME RELATIONSHIP
• Where is the ball after a while?
• What will happen to the ice after a few minutes?
• What happened before / after that?
• What happened first/ last?
• How does the tree look like from inside the house?
• Where is the canteen located?
• How did it look from the top/bottom/side?
8.INTERPRETING DATA
• What can you say about brightness of the bulb when one battery is used?
• What happened to the brightness of the bulb as the number of batteries increase?
• How does the number of batteries effect the brightness of the bulb?
• Based on the pictograph what is the most common height among your classmates?
• What is the trend of the graph.
9.DEFINING OPERATIONALLY
• What is a ball? Can you tell me what a ball is? What do you do with the ball?
• What are the things needed to make a complete circuit?
• What is a complete circuit?
• How did you make a complete circuit?
• What did you do to the things to make a complete circuit?
• What is man made materials?
• How do you explain speed?
10 CONTROLLING VARIABLES
• What are the things that you use in the activity?
• What are the things that affect the result of the activity?
• What do you keep the same?
• What do you measure?
• What do you need to change?
• How does size of a sponge affect the amount of water it will hold?
11 MAKING HYPOTHESES
• What will happen if I add more water?
• What do you think will happen if this is change?
• What is the relationship between the number of batteries use and the brightness of the bulb?
• What will happen to the result if we change this?
• What will be affect if this is change?
• Will the plant grow healthier if we use more water?
12 EXPERIMENTING
• What is your conclusion?
• Describe what you will do to find out what plant need to grow healthy.
• How would you prove your hypothesis/inferences?
• Design a fair test.
