5. Which of the following scenario below exhibits “fair testing”?
A. When experimenting with the growth of plants, the student uses three different type of plants, two different
fertilizers, a varied amount of light and equal amount of water. After 2 weeks, the student measures the height of
the plant in cm.
B. When experimenting with the growth of plants, the student uses three (same type) plants, two different fertilizers,
equal amount of light and equal amount of water. After 2 weeks, the student measured and recorded the height of
the plant in cm.

For question numbers 6 - 7, refer to the scenario below.

During quarantine period, the Dela Cruz Family has decided to put up a garden in their backyard. They
cultivate the soil and planted pechay on it. They visited and watered the plants regularly to ensure that the plants
would grow better. One day, the father has observed that the plant is not growing well and mentioned it to the family
member. They have decided to put fertilizer on the plant and observe its effect on it.

6. What would be the best research question to the problem of the family?
A. What is the best fertilizer to be used on plant?
B. How does fertilizer help the plants to grow better?
C. What is the effect of using fertilizer on the growth of the plant?
D. Why use fertilizer on plant?
7. If you want to verify whether fertilizer would affect the growth of pechay plant, which of the following hypothesis
would you investigate?
 A. Organic fertilizer is better to use to increase the growth of pechay plant.
B. If pechay plant did not grow better, it is because the soil was not fertilized.
C. If the fertilizer used is organic, then the plant would grow best.
D. If the fertilizer would be added to the soil, then the pechay plant would grow better.
8. How are drawing conclusions and communicating results important in a scientific investigation?
A. These two last steps are important when it comes to stating the problem.
B. Drawing conclusions and communicating results give clarity to the problem or question intended to be solved or
answered.
C. Drawing’s conclusions and communicating results can help in the process of collecting and analyzing data.
D. In a scientific investigation, drawing conclusions and communicating results prove or disprove arguments as
well
as give experimenters an opportunity to collaborate with others regarding similar experiment.
