(b) Record Data
Distance between light source and hydrilla
the total number of bubbles released
60 cm 10
50 cm 12
40 cm 15
30 cm 20
(c)(i)Observing –what can be seen from data(result)
P1: MVP2: RVP3: the RESULT (value with unit)
Samples answer• At the distance of 60cm (P1), the the
total number of bubbles released (P2) is 10 (P3)
• At the distance of 30cm (P1), the the total number of bubbles released (P2) is 20 (P3)
(c)(ii) Making Inferens- based from question/aim of experiment
P1: light intensity (mv- based from aim of experiment) P2: rate of photosynthesis (mv- based from aim of
experiment) R: gas oxygen is produced by plant
Any 2 points get 3 marks
Samples answer• when the light intensity decrease (P1), the rate of
photosynthesis decrease (P2) because less gas oxygen is produced by plant (R)
• when the light intensity increase (P1), the rate of photosynthesis increase (P2) because less gas oxygen is produced by plant (R)
tips : make sure no repetition sentences from observation
(d) Controlling variables
Variables Particular to implemented
ManipulatedDistance between the light sources
Changes the environmentPlaces the simple potometer / apparatus in different environment ,a room with air movement and then (in a room) without air movement / still air
Responding the total number of bubbles released // rate of photosynthesis
Record and count the total number of bubbles released using a stopwatch // record & calculate the rate of photosynthesis using the formula (formula must be stated)=
Controlled time taken for counting the total number of bubble release
Fixed at 5 minutes
(e)Stating hypothesis
P1 – state the manipulated variableP2 – state the responding variableP3 – state the relationship between K1 and K2
If the light intensity (P1) in the increases (P3), the rate of photosynthesis (P2) also increases (P3)
* if vice versa gets only 1 mark EXAMPLE: MV increase, RV Increase/decrease

(f) (ii)Interpret data
(g) [KB0607 – Using Spatial and Time Relationship]
R-relationship based from graphE1: rate of photosynthesis increaseE2: more oxygen gas is produced
the light intensity in the increases ,therate of photosynthesis also increases(R) because more oxygen gas is produced (E1) and rate of photosynthesis
increase(E2)
If relationship is wrong, any E is rejected0 mark
(h)prediction
Able to predict correctly and explain the prediction based on the following criteria ;P1 – total numbers of gas bubbles released increaseP2 – the rate of photosynthesis increaseP3 – 2 sprigs have more leaves
Sample question :total numbers of gas bubbles released increase and the rate of photosynthesis increase because 2 sprigs have more leaves
(i)Defining by operation]
K1 –gas bubble released oxygen produced(from result)K2 –occuring in Hydrilla sp. Which place in sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (based from diagram or informaton given in question)K3 – hypothesis (data) when the distance between light source and hydrilla increase, the number of bubbles released in 5 minutes decrease
Sample answer :Photosynthesis is gas bubble released (K1) which occuring in Hydrilla sp. Which place in sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (K2) .
