Professional judgement can be used in these cases, providing it matches the marking points and further information in the mark scheme. Answers may have words spelt incorrectly. Credit is normally given for phonetically correct answers, unless the word has a scientifically different meaning. For example, where the answer should be antennae, credit will be given for antena but not for anthen (too close to anther) Only the science is being assessed so answers do not need to be grammatically correct. Significant figures will be indicated in the question or in the mark scheme. Unless specified all marking points are independent Annotations and abbreviations JOR alternate responses for the same marking point ()brackets _the words or units in brackets do not need to be stated, for example, (recycles or releases or provides) minerals = minerals scores the mark Underline exact word is required Accept an acceptable response Do not accept indicates an incorrect response that would contradict another otherwise correct alternative Ignore indicates an irrelevant answer that is not creditworthy. Full marks can still be achieved even with answers that are ignored Note provides extra information when necessary eof error carried forward; marks are awarded if an incorrect response has been carried forward from earlier working, provided the subsequent working is correct ora or reverse argument; for example, as mass increases, volume increases could be written as mass decreases, volume decreases © UCLES 2020 Page 2 of 14sira2 Lower Secondary Checkpoint ~ Mark Scheme ‘Apri 2020 PUBLISHED Question Answer Marks Further Information 10 2| Cand cowect = + mark _ ie) D and Bcorect= 1 mark 100) ‘200 tating mk seas free heathy 4 | tore ts of ik Accept size meat preducton/docie!
