SAMPLE QUESTION 1

An experiment was conducted to study the relationship of temperature of water and the time
taken for 2.0 g of sugar to dissolve in 50 cm3 of water. 2.0 g of sugar was added to 50 cm3
of water at 30 °C. At the same time, the stopwatch was started. A glass rod was used to stir
the mixture. The stopwatch was stopped as soon as the sugar was completely dissolved. The
same steps of experiment were repeated for water which was heated to 35°C, 40 °C, 45 °C
and 50 °C. Figure 1 shows the readings of the stopwatch at different temperatures….

Name of variable Action to be taken

(i) Manipulated variable: (iv) The way to manipulate variable:

Temperature Repeat the experiment by using different temperature

(ii) Responding variable: (v) What to measure in the responding variable:

Time Record the time taken for the sugar to dissolve in the water
(iii) Fixed variable: (vi) The way to maintain the controlled variable:

Mass of sugar, Using the same quantity of sugar and the same volume of
Volume of water water

OR

Name of variable Action to be taken

(i) Manipulated variable: (iv) The way to manipulate variable:
………………………………. Repeat the experiment by using different Manipulated
Variables
(ii) Responding variable: (v) What to measure in the responding variable:
………………………………. Record the Responding Variables for the Fixed Variables
to ……
(iii) Fixed variable: (vi) The way to maintain the controlled variable:
Mass of ……………….
Volume of …………… Using the same quantity of … (Fixed Variables)
Concentration of ……….

ESEI / ESSAY

 Soalan esei adalah berdasarkan amali sebenar yang telah dijalankan dalam
makmal sekolah atau amali yang hanya dibincangkan secara teori.
 Enam aspek yang boleh disoal ialah:
o Tujuan (Aim of experiment) / Pernyataan masalah (statement of
problem)
o Semua pemboleh ubah (All the variables)
o Hipotesis (Hypothesis)
o Senarai bahan, alat radas dan susunan radas (List of materials and
apparatus)
o Kaedah eksperimen (Procedure of experiment)
o Penjadualan data (Tabulation of data)

SAMPLE QUESTION 2

ANSWERS

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM (Based on question – highlight the statement that stating the
main question / Cari dalam soalan – gariskan pernyataan yang menyatakan tujuan
esperimen)

How to construct an electrochemical cell to determine one factor that influences

the differences in the voltage?

ALL THE VARIABLES (Identify the variables from the statement of problem / Kenalpasti
pembolehubah daripada pernyataan masalah)

Manipulated variable Factor: Pair of metals / The position of

metals from copper in the
electrochemical series
Responding variable The differences in the voltage / voltage
reading
Fixed variable Type of solution / Concentration of
solution / Volume of solution

HYPOTHESIS (Relate the manipulated variable with the responding variable / Hubungkan
antara pembolehubah dimanipulasi dan pembolehubah bergerakbalas)

The further apart the metal from copper in the Electrochemical series, the higher
the voltage reading.

PROCEDURE

Use a passive sentence

TABULATION OF DATA (Make sure that the manipulated variable and the responding
variable are stated in the table – one column each with unit / Pastikan pembolehubah
dimanipulasi dan pembolehubah bergerakbalas dinyatakan dalam jadual – satu lajur setiap
satu dengan unitnya masing-masing).

Pairs of metals Voltage (V) Negative terminal of the cell

Magnesium / Copper Magnesium
Zinc / Copper Zinc
Iron / Copper Iron
Lead / Copper Lead
Copper / Copper Copper

And a blank table like this should gives you 0 marks..
