1. The KBSR UPSR Science paper is only evaluated at the central level

by the Examination Board.

2. The important point that pupils must be aware of the UPSR

examination are as follows :

Evaluation : Central levelScope : The Primary School Years 4, 5 and 6SyllabusTime allocated : 1 hour 15 minutesQuestion type : Section A : 30 objective questions

- Multiple choice questions: Section B : 4 or 5 questions

- Structured questionsProposed time : Section A : 45 minutes

Allocation : Section B : 30 minutes

Section A

In this section, there are a total of 30 questions. The questions are designed to

test the science process skills of the pupils. For example: making inferences,

classification, etc.

Section B

A) In this section, 4 or 5 questions are asked. The questions are usually based

on experiments. The questions will usually contains diagrams, tables,

observations, etc. Most questions will be related to the following :

a) Starting the experiment objectives

b) Determining the variables

c) Making the hypothesis

d) Starting the pattern of change in a variable in the form of a table or graph

e) Making inferencesf) Making predictions

g) Identifying relationships between variables

h) Making conclusions

If a pupi l can recogn ise the quest ion type and pract ise the method o f

answering, he or she can achieve a hig h sco re.

B. Techniques and methods to help pupils answer question in

Section B are outlined below:

Step 1

Determine the title/topic asked according to the table or diagram provided.

Step 2

Underline the important keywords.

Step 3

Find variables and classify them into these three categories:

(i)Manipulated variables

(ii)Responding variables

(iii)Constants variables

Step 4

Start answering the question.


11/38

C. Technique to answer the questions (format)

1. Questions that test on objectives

Explore the influence of manipulated variables towards the responding

variables, or Explore the relationship between manipulated variables andresponding variables.

2. Questions that test on patterns of change

Increase / decrease

3. Questions that test on variables

(a) Manipulated variables

- During the experiment : materials / factors that we can control

(b) Responding variables

-After the experiment : the products of the experiment

(c) Contant variables

- Materials/ factors that remain the same throught the experiment.

4. Questions that test on making a hypothesis

With the increase/decrease in a certain manipulated variable, there will be an

increase/ decrease in a responding variable, or

If there is a manipulated variable, then the responding variable.

5. Questions that test on making a hypothesis

The responding variable . . . Because . . . manipulated. . .

6. Questions that test on making inferencesThe responding variable . . . Because . . . The manipulated variable. . .

7. Questions that test on making predictions

. . . will . . .

8. Questions that test on making conclusions.

Similar to making a hypothesis or making a statement based on the findings

from an experiments.

SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS

- SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS ENABLE PUPILSTO FORMULATE THEIR QUESTIONS ANDFIND OUT THE ANSWERS SYSTEMATICALLY.


15/38

DESCRIPTION OF THE SCIENCE

PROCESS SKILLS ARE ASFOLLOWS:


16/38

* USING THE SENSE OF HEARING, TOUCH, SMELL,TASTE AND SIGHT TO FIND OUT ABOUT OBJECTSOR EVENTS


17/38


18/38

* USING OBSERVATIONS TO GROUP OBJECTSOR EVENTS ACCORDING TO SIMILARITIESOR DIFFERENCES.


19/38


20/38

* MAKING QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATIONS BYCOMPARING TO A CONVENTIONAL OR NON-CONVENTIONAL STANDARD.


21/38


22/38

* USING PAST EXPERIENCES OR PREVIOUSLYCOLLECTED DATA TO DRAW CONCLUSIONSAND MAKE EXPLANATIONS OF EVENTS.


23/38


24/38

* MAKING A FORECAST ABOUT WHAT WILLHAPPEN IN FUTURE BASED ON PRIORKNOWLEDGE GAINED THROUGHEXPERIENCES OR COLLECTED DATA


25/38

* USING WORDS OR GRAPHIC SYMBOLSSUCH AS TABLES, GRAPHS, FIGURES ORMODELS TO DESCRIBE AN ACTION, OBJECTOR EVENT.


26/38

DESCRIBING CHANGES IN PARAMETERWITH TIME.

EXAMPLES OF PARAMETERS ARE LOCATION,

DIRECTION, SHAPE, SIZE, VOLUME, WEIGHTAND MASS


27/38

GIVING RASIONAL EXPLANATION ABOUT ANOBJECT , EVENT OR PATTERN DERIVED FROMCOLLECTED DATA.


28/38

DEFINING CONCEPTS BY DESCRIBING WHATMUST BE DONE AND WHAT SHOULD BEOBSERVED.


29/38

NAMING THE FIXED VARIABLES,MANIPULATED VARIABLE AND RESPONDING

VARIABLE IN AND INVESTIGATION

MANIPULATED VARIABLE IT CHANGED TOOBSERVE ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

RESPONDING VARIABLE.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE FIXED VARIABLES AREKEPT CONSTANT.

PLANNING AND CONDUCTING ACTIVITIES TOTEST A HYPOTHESIS.

THIS ACTIVITIES INCLUDE COLLECTING,

ANALYSING AND INTERPRETING DATA ANDMAKING CONCLUSION.
