1. Diagram 1.1 and 1.2 show an experiment to study
the electrical conductivity of lead (II) bromide

(a) Based on Diagram 1.2 , what is your observation

on the needle of the ammeter?

(b ) What is the reading of the ammeter in Diagram 1.2?

(a)

(Your answer should be based on what you can see from the diagram only.
Look at the needle of the ammeter, what can you see?. Write your answer)

Answer : Needle deflects

(b)

( Read the reading of the ammeter, then write your answer)

Answer : 0.4 A
(i) Constant variable :

( Determine which factor of the substance (lead (II) bromide) is the

same / fixed in both Diagram 1.1 and 1.2 )

Answer : Quantity of the substance / lead (II) bromide

(ii) Manipulated variable :

( Determine which factor of the substance (lead (II) bromide) is
different / changed in both Diagram 1.1 and 1.2 )

Answer : State of the substance / lead (ii) bromide

(iii) Responding variable :

(Refer to the statement given in the question. Determine the aim of the
experiment. The aim of the experiment is the factor that we want to find out from

the experiment. It will be the responding variable)

Answer : Electrical conductivity // Reading of the ammeter

1. USING STATEMENT OF THE QUESTION

to study ……………………… by / on ………………………..

( responding variable) ( manipulated variable)

1. USING DIAGRAM

Different factor/condition Factor/ result needed

( manipulated variable) ( responding variable)

Factor which is same in the DIAGRAM or stated same in the

QUESTION’S STATEMENT is a constant variable
 3. USING TABLE OF THE RESULT

First column Second column

(Manipulated variable) (Responding variable)

4. USING GRAPH

Y Axis : Responding Variable Y Axis : Manipulated Variable

 (e) State one inference for this experiment

(Refer to the result of the experiment. In this case,

an ammeter reading in Diagram 1.1 and 1.2

Give a reason why such results are obtain. Your reason will be an inference)

Answer :
Answer : Solid lead (II) bromide cannot conduct electricity
OR
Molten lead (II) bromide can conduct electricity
 (f) State the hypothesis that can be made from this experiment

( Relate the manipulated variable with the responding variable

and form one complete sentence )

Answer :
Different state of lead (II) bromide give different ammeter reading
OR
The electrical conductivity of different state of lead (II) bromide is different
(g) Lead (II) bromide is an ionic compound.

State the operational definition for an ionic compound

Answer format :

…………… is a ………. that show / caused / produced ……………………

What you Using suitable Choose Result of

want to define term / word any one the
experiment

Answer :
(Ionic compound) is a (substance) that (caused) (deflection on the ammeter’s needle in molten stage)
(h) Mark ( ∕ ) the substances which have same characteristic as lead (II) bromide

Copper Sulphur Sodium Chloride

(This is a question based on comparison of similarities (classifying question)

Determine which substance has the same characteristic as lead bromide, which
can only conduct electricity in molten stage. Then mark ( ∕ ) at the correct space.

Answer :

Mark ( ∕ ) for sodium chloride

2. Diagram 2 shows an experiment to study the formation of an image by a concave
lens.

(a)Complete Diagram 2 to show the formation of the image by the concave lens.
(This is one type of question based on communicating .
Your must show the rays diagram and the image formed by the concave lens in the diagram )
Your diagram must include :

(i) Two light rays with arrows

(ii) Correct image drawn in dotted line

Answer :
 (b) Measure and write down the distance of the image

( Measure the image using your own ruler)

Answer : 1.2 ± 0.1 cm

(c ) State two characteristics of the image formed in 2 (a)

(This question requires interpreting of the data.

Determine two characteristics of the image)

Answer :
1. Virtual
2. Upright
3. Smaller than the object
(a) Using data in Table 3, draw a graph of the number of bacterial colonies against
Time.

(This question requires the transfer of information.

 Mark all points correctly using ‘x’. Then draw a smooth line graph. The
graph must joint all the points. Do not use a ruler to draw the graph.
Use a pencil only)

Answer :
(b) What is the relationship between the number of bacterial colonies and time?

Format answer:

( When the time increase, the ………….. increases / decreases)

Refer to the Y axis of

the graph. What does it
represents. Copy the
unit of Y axis

Answer :

When the time increases, the number of bacterial colonies increases

(c) Predict the number of bacterial colonies produced on the 6th day.

( Continue drawing the graph from day five to day six with a pencil.
Than determine the reading or value from the graph.
After that, you must rub off the extrapolated part of the graph that
you drew from minute five to minute 6)

Answer : 22
Experimenting aspect

Study the following statement.

An alloy and pure metal have a

different corrosive resistance
characteristic
You are given an iron nail, a steel nail and sodium chloride solution
(a) Suggest a hypothesis to investigate the above statement

(Refer to the previous section)

(b) Aim of the experiment

(Derrive from the statement in the box. If it cannot be done, just put the
words “ To study whether” in front of the statement.

Answer:

To study whether an alloy and pure metal have a different corrosive

resistance characteristic
b(ii) Identification of variables

(Refer to the previous section)

 b(iii) List of apparatus and material

(List down all the apparatus and materials given.

Then add another one or two apparatus needed to ensure
the success of the experiment)
b(iv) Procedure or method

Write down a minimum of four steps.

The steps must consist:

1. set up / arrangement of apparatus / material

2. duration of time
3. observe and record the result
4. repeating of the experiment

( Your answer must be in Present Tense)

b(v) Tabulation of data

(Construct a table. The title of each column is the manipulated variable

and responding variable. Information for manipulated must be detail and
complete. No need to write information for responding variable)

Type of nail Corrosive condition / rusting

Iron nail
Steel nail
