Controlling Variables
To test students understandings in
what has to keep the same , what
to change and what to observe
while conducting or when carry out
any fair test.
Students should well known with
this three major elements in any
investigation or experiments.

What to keep the same ?

Any factors or elements that should
be kept the same while conducting
a fair test.
Normally things that should be kept
the same can be found whether in
the diagram or in the statement.
Students should well known
through this item.

Figure 3 shows the apparatus used by Rohaya

in an experiment. The bobs of the pendulums
have the same mass. She used the same size
and type of string.

Types of string
Size of the string
Mass of pendulums

What must be changed

Any factors or elements show in

the diagram or graph or table are
changed or not the same while
the fair test is carried out. The
result of the experiment based on
this matter.

What to change ?

What to observe / whats your

finding ?
What to measure
The result of any fair test or
experiment is considered as
what to observe / measure
Tips:
Student must have the ability to
determine this factor either in
the table , diagram or in the
statement.

Water temperature

Which model fall first

Model F is the most stable and

model H is the less stable

Number of nails that can be supported

Making hypotheses / State the

relationship between two
factors.

Normally student just make one

statement by adding with what
to change and what to observe.

Sample answer:
To investigate / find out the relationship
between the number of teaspoon of salt
and the time taken to dissolved.

What to change
Distance of the object
from the light source

What to measure
Size of the shadow

The size of the shadow was measured each time the object
is moved nearer to the light source.
To investigate the relationship between the distance of the object from
the light source and the size of the shadow.

State the trend / pattern

Students are advisable to study the pattern of data
that has
given in the question.
The answer normally in either one word , two words
or three
words.

Making conclusion
Make one statement to conclude the
finding of the fair test or investigation.

Sample answer:
As the number of grasshopper increase /
decrease the number of snake increase /
decrease too.

Sometimes using a general statement

also can be use as a conclusion. To
use this statement students must be
able to recognise the situation given.
Sample statement.
1. Plants need sunlight to grow.
2. Light travelled in straight line.
3. Rusty is caused by the present of air and
water.

Check you understanding.
