Lampiran 1 SMKA MAAHAD HAMIDIAH JLN SG RAMAL LUAR 43000 KAJANG PEKA ASSIGNMENT FORM 3 2009 1.

This is the only PEKA activity in Form 3.You are asked to perform these activities to fulfil the requirement for a PMR PEKA certificate : a. Plan an experiment to investigate how temperature affects the rate of transpiration in groups of three or four students. b. Carry out the experiment in groups. c. Plot a graph of difference in weight of apparatus vs Time taken d. Write the report individually.Do not type your report ! Include the answers to the questions given below. 2. The elements being assessed by your teacher are :
ELEMENTS OBSERVED Element 2 : Experimenting and Manipulative Skills CONSTRUCT ASSESSED Construct 12 : Planning Scientific Investigation Construct 13 : Conducting Investigation Construct 14 : Collecting and Recording Construct 15 : Analysing and Interpreting Data Construct 16 : Making conclusion Construct 17 : (a) Intrinsic attitude (b) Extrinsic attitude (c) Thinking ability (d) Noble value HOW ASSESSMENT IS CARRIED OUT Observation by subject teacher during lessons in the laboratory AND Marks from laboratory report

Element 3 : Scientific Attitudes and Noble Values

Students attitude throughout the observation period and interaction with teacher and laboratory partners

3. Your report is due on the 13.3.2009.You do not have to bind your assignment, only use stapler to bind them together. 4. Answer the questions given at the end of this task sheet.

Potometer placed at room temperature(__0C) R1 R2 R3 Avg Potometer placed at higher temperature(__0C) R1 R2 R3 Avg

( C15 a,b)

DISCUSSION

a. At room temperature (0 C), the rate of transpiration is ______ g/min but at a higher temperature ( ____ 0 C), the rate is ______ g/min.This is because .. ( C 15 a ) b. If one of the fixed variables is absent, what might happen to the rate of transpiration ? ( C 15 b )

( C16a,b)

CONCLUSION

1.The hypothesis is accepted/rejected.AYAT WAJIB ( C 16a, b)

QUESTIONS :

1.What happened to the weight of the apparatus at the end of this experiment ? 2.Explain the changes in the water levels, if any, in the conical flasks.( C15 a ) 3.What causes the change in weight, if any, in this experiment ? ( C 15 a ) 4.What precautions can be taken to ensure the results of this experiment is accurate ? 5.State a relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable. 6.Based on this experiment, state an inference. 7.From this experiment, define operationally the rate of transpiration .( C 15 a ) C 17 (a) (b) (c) (d) CLUES : 6. Inference = reason for observation ..influenced by ..is affected by ..depends on. ..because.. 7. Define operationally = berdasarkan apa yang telah diukur dalam eksperimen tersebut ( RESPONDING VARIABLE ) THE RATE OF TRANSPIRATION IS.
