Question 1
1(a) (i)Score Explanation3Able to state
two
different observations correctly based on the followingcriteria.C1 – Fan speedC2 – The time taken for air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm.Sample Answer:1.The
time taken for air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm at air speed 5is 12 minutes.2
.
The time taken for air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm at air speed 0is
37 minutes.3.The time
taken for air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm is shorter/fasterat air speed 5 than at air speed 0 // inversely.2 Able to state two different observations inaccurately.Sample Answer:1. Under fast / slow moving/ still air, the air bubble moves.2. The fan speed influences the time taken for air bubble to move adistance of 10 cm.1 Able to state two different observations at idea level.Sample Answer:1. The fan speed influences the air bubble to move.2. The fan speed changes / increases /decreases.3. The time taken for air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm changes / increases /decreases.0 No response or wrong response (response like hypothesis)

3Able to state
two
inferences correctly.Sample answer:1. Under fast moving air, the rate of transpiration is high / the watermolecules evaporate from surface of the leaves rapidly causing the timetaken by air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm to be short/fast.2. Under slow moving air, the rate of transpiration is low/ the watermolecules evaporate from surface of the leaves slowly causing the timetaken by air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm to be long.3. The time taken by air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm // rate oftranspiration under fast moving air is shorter/faster // higher than underslow moving air.2 Able to state two inferences inaccurately / one correct inference and oneinaccurate inference.Sample answer:1. (Under fast moving air,) transpiration occurs in plant.2. The rate of transpiration is affected by the fan speed.1 Able to state one correct inference or two inaccurate inference or idea.Sample answer:1. Transpiration occurs.2. The fan speed changes / increases /decreases.3. The time taken by air bubble to move (a distance of 10 cm)changes / increases /decreases0 No response or wrong response (inference like hypothesis)

all the 3 variables and the methods
to handle the variables.Sample answer :
Variable Method to handle the variableManipulated variable :
Fan speedCarry out the experiment / Place theapparatus under different fan speed / fastmoving air, slow moving air and still air
Responding variable:
The time taken by airbubble to move adistance of 10 cm // rateof transpirationTake the time taken by air bubble to move adistance of 10 cm using a stop watch // using a formula,distance moved by air bubble (cm )time taken ( minute ) ,the rate of transpiration is calculated.
Controlled variable:
the distance moved byair bubble// temperature/ relative humidity/ lightintensity// plant usedFix the distance at 10 cm//carry out theexperiment in the lab//use the same plant / branch with the same number of leavesAble to get 6
