The document provides guidance on key steps for answering science questions using the SPS (Seni Penilaian Sains) method. It includes:
1. Observing details from diagrams/tables and stating observations without inferences.
2. Making inferences by providing a reason for observations.
3. Identifying variables in investigations - what is changed, measured, and kept the same.
4. Stating a hypothesis relating the changing and measuring variables.
5. Drawing a conclusion based on results and what was learned.
6. Making predictions, identifying trends, and stating the purpose of investigations.

What is your observation from the picture/graph/table above? What can you see from the diagram? What can you say about the figure above? State one observation... Use our 5 senses eg eyes, nose, ear, skin and mouth. Identify all the information given. Do not give reason . eg he number of elephant decrease !lant " is bigger than plant # State one inference$ %ive reason for your ans&er in $.
