MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 50
Published
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Markers were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
details of the discussions that took place at an Markers’ meeting before marking began, which would have
considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the End of Series Report.
Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
This document consists of 14 printed pages.

scores two marks for example: note a conclusion without a comparison
 the greater the air resistance the harder it is to run with reference to speed or time = 1
 more air resistance means that it takes more time to run mark
 more air resistance the slower they run For example:
 (greater surface area has) greater air resistance so speed decreases.  air resistance makes it hard to
run
 air resistance makes you run
slowly
 air resistance takes a long time
to run
 greater surface area gives
greater air resistance / bigger

7 Angélique and Pierre watch a film about penguins.
One scene shows penguins together in a group at a temperature of –30 C.
Pierre predicts that the penguins in the middle of the group will be the warmest.
Angélique suggests that they plan an investigation to test Pierre’s prediction.
They decide to use test-tubes filled with hot water to represent eight penguins.
