2006 KS3 Science Mark Scheme
Tiers 3−6 and 5−7 Introduction
Introduction
The test papers will be marked by external markers. The markers will follow the mark scheme in this booklet, which is provided here to inform teachers. This booklet includes the mark scheme for paper 1 and paper 2 in both tiers.
The structure of the mark scheme for tiers 3−6 and 5−7
The mark scheme for each question shows:
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
the teaching points from the key stage 3 programme of study the marks available for each part of the question the total marks available for the question the answer or answers expected, indicated by an asterisk additional guidance to assist markers in making professional judgements.
When a question appears in an identical form in both tiers, the answers to the question are given only once in the mark scheme. For clarity, both question numbers are given. The following example, from tier 3−6 paper 2 question 15 and from tier 5−7 paper 2 question 7, illustrates this.
Tier 3−6 5−7 Part bi 2/5c
Q No 15 7 Mark Answer 1 any one from * it protects it * it stops it being damaged * it stops it drying out * it prevents infection * it keeps out disease organisms Accept Additional guidance
accept ‘it stops it being eaten’ accept ‘it keeps the contents in’
accept ‘it stops bacteria or viruses or germs getting in’ accept ‘it allows oxygen in or carbon dioxide out’
do not accept ‘it keeps it warm’
Where more than one answer is acceptable, this is indicated in the mark scheme by ‘any one from’. Each possible correct answer is marked with an asterisk. In some cases, alternative answers are indicated by ‘or’.
