what is an anomalous result

a result that does not fit into the pattern of the other results

an apparatus used to measure gas (CO2 in this case)

using a gas syringe

downward

remember: if the questions ask why measurements were taken a few minutes
after the conditions (i.e temperature) changed (ans down below)

to allow the (something; i.e plant) to stabilize/equilibrate to the new

conditions

eg
The student repeated the experiment described in 2(b) at a higher
temperature. The
student left the plant for ten minutes at the new temperature before starting
to measure
the rate of bubble production.
Suggest why the student waited for ten minutes before taking
measurements.

how to maintain temperature

using a thermostatically controlled water bath

an incubator

a fridge

insulation (of the beaker) (by heating)

how to maintain humidity

using a dehumidifier

when it comes to determining/judging the colour etc (the reliability is less why?)

practical 1
 because it is subjective / qualitative / judged by eye / different people
have different eyesight -M2019

improvement

using a wide range of indicators

subjective / difficult to judge when the colour had

disappeared - J2019

improvement

comparison with a test that has no colour

when asked why many (species/flowers etc) were measured

to give a representive sample

when asked what to do when optimum (something) couldnt be measured / to

obtain a more accurate value of concentration

eg: smaller intervals (at different temperatures);

between 40°C and 50°C;

test for smaller intervals between concentrations/ temperatures etc.

when testing for food (effects of food on energy)

4 hours of fasting before consuming the food product

variables that are kept constant during fitness investigations

gender (of subjects) ;

fitness / health (of subjects) ;
age (of subjects) ;
speed of, exercise / running ;
running surface ;
(named) environmental condition ;
preparation / resting time (before and / or between runs) ;
time interval / point after exercise, used to determine breathing
rate

age, gender, fitness level comes as 1 marking point
