Question on @8perient raewor!
a). Identify variable & Fig!lig!t and relate t!e !ysical uantities to t!e closest terms. 'ay secial attention
to uantities w!ic! varye.g. 3 Section : '3 S'# 1AAJDiagram 3.$ and 3.1 s!ow a worker us!ing a w!eelbarrow on a soft ground. Fe notice t!at t!e tyre sinksdeeer into t!e ground w!en t!e w!eelbarrow is loaded
uantities w!ic! are varied & ?eig!t on w!eelbarrow (*elated variable 6 +orce)-0yre sinks deeer (*elated variable 6 'ressure)
b). ?riting 0ec!niue & i) Inference ($ mark) :ased on observation82n initial interretation or elanation concerning t!e observation. It can be true or false. ormally use terms like deends on- influenced by affected by
(<bservation8 2ction involve senses in gat!ering information about an obEect or event) #aniulative variable affects t!e resonding variable *esonding variable is deends on t!e maniulative variable *esonding variable is influenced by t!e maniulative variable
e.g& :igger force causes t!e tyre sink deeer :igger ressure causes t!e tyre to sink deeer 'ressure eerted on t!e ground by t!e tyre is deendent on t!e force acted on t!e tyre
(not encourage to write inference same as !yot!esis)
ii) Fyot!esis ($ mark)
Fyot!esis& 2 statement of an eected outcome t!at usually states t!e relations!i between twovariables w!ic! will undergo a direct eeriment test?!en t!e maniulative variable increases/decreases t!e resonding variable increases/ decreases
iii) 2im ($ mark) 0o study/investigate t!e relations!i between maniulative variable and t!e resonding variablee.g. 0o investigate t!e relations!i between force and ressure
iv) 0yes of variables& #aniulative- *esonding- +ied (<nly one fied variable needed) (1 marks) %ariable& '!ysical uantity t!at can be varied in an eeriment
( State the -aria.'es that can .e easure ) ncourage to write oerational definition for variables.e.g. Pressure is t!e epression make on t!e lasticine by t!e mass. +orce is taken as t!
Mass dro from t!e !eig!t of "A cm)e.g.&#aniulated variable& #ass of obEect*esonding variable& Det! of deressiononstant variable & Feig!t of obEect dro(%ariable must be re'ate with the e8perient and t!e common one- e.g.&t!e Perio o osci''ation- notencourage to write tie or 10 osci''ations)
v) ,ist of aaratus and material. ($ mark) State all t!e imortant aaratus usede.g. 'lasticine- weig!t/obEect of "Ag- $AAg- $"Ag- 1AAg and 1"Ag and metre rule

c). #et!od/'rocedure& (0!ree imortant statements) (3 marks) i). Start t!e eeriment wit! maniulative variable& ===.. (a ractical value) ii). *esonding variable is measured and recorded (ways and !ow@) iii). *eeat t!e eeriment times wit! different values of maniulated variable 1A- 3A- A- A g (mention all t!e remaining)e.g.$. 'lasticine wit! uniform t!ickness is laced on t!e table1. Dro "A g obEect on t!e from a fied !eig!t ! (obEect must be uniform si;e like suare s!ae not round)
3. *emove t!e weig!t and measure t!e det!- d of t!e deression on t!e lasticine using metre rule. *eeat t!e stes by using weig!ts of $AA g- $"A g- 1AA g- and 1"A g
d). 0abulation of data ($ mark)
e). 2nalysis of data& (State and sketc! a gra!) ($ mark)State & 2 gra! of resonding variable against maniulated variable is lotted or s!ow t!e sketc! wit! aes labeled ( can wit!out t!e real s!ae of t!e gra!)
G Do not describe irrelevant eeriment. #aimum mark for irrelevant eeriment is only 4 will lose Jmarks (asects may be awarded marks are & inference- !yot!esis or aim- tabulation of data and analysis ofdata )
