This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination.



CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Paper 32

NOTES ABOUT MARK SCHEME SYMBOLS & OTHER MATTERS M marks are method marks upon which further marks depend. For an M mark to be scored, the point to which it refers must be seen in a candidate's answer. If a candidate fails to score a particular M mark, then none of the dependent marks can be scored. are independent marks, which do not depend on other marks. For a B mark to be scored, the point to which it refers must be seen specifically in the candidate’s answers. In general A marks are awarded for final answers to numerical questions. If a final numerical answer, eligible for A marks, is correct, with the correct unit and an acceptable number of significant figures, all the marks for that question are normally awarded. It is very occasionally possible to arrive at a correct answer by an entirely wrong approach.

    Graphs and charts are common tools used in science. To interpret graphs, read the axis labels as well as the numbers on the axis. The title should give you some clue as to the purpose of the graph. Next, examine the content. Try to describe the content in words, using “As ____(quantity on the x axis), ____(type of change, such as increases or decreases), ____ (quantity on the y axis) ___(type of change such as increases or decreases).” For example, the graph above could be described, “As time increases from 0 to 8 seconds, the velocity of Billy increases linearly from 0 to about 14 m/s.”…

    Power is denoted by the formula, P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag, work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight, measured the weight of the bag, and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way, we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated hypotheses are 1) work is directly proportional to power in constant time 2) time is inversely proportional to power in constant work. Variables vary in the experiment. Below is a diagram portraying the variables involved in experiment 1 and 2.…

    Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies and systems without consideration of the forces that cause the motion. There are four activities done in this experiment, graphical analysis of human motion, where displacement vs. time and velocity vs. time were graphed. Graphical analysis of motion where in the 10th seconds the total displacement is 14.69m, average velocity is 1.47 m/s. Reaction time where one of the normal reaction time among the group is 0.4s and the reaction time while someone is distracting the member is 0.5s, and lastly graph matching.…

    General A markscheme often has more specific points worthy of a mark than the total allows. This is intentional. Do not award more than the maximum marks allowed for part of a question. When deciding upon alternative answers by candidates to those given in the markscheme, consider the following points: Each marking point has a separate line and the end is signified by means of a semicolon (;). An alternative answer or wording is indicated in the markscheme by a “/”; either wording can be accepted. Words in ( … ) in the markscheme are not necessary to gain the mark. The order of points does not have to be as written (unless stated otherwise). If the candidate’s answer has the same “meaning” or can be clearly interpreted as being the same as that in the mark scheme then award the mark. Mark positively. Give candidates credit for what they have achieved, and for what they have got correct, rather than penalising them for what they have not achieved or what they have got wrong. Remember that many candidates are writing in a second language. Effective communication is more important than grammatical accuracy. Occasionally, a part of a question may require a calculation whose answer is required for subsequent parts. If an error is made in the first part then it should be penalised. However, if the incorrect answer is used correctly in subsequent parts then follow through marks should be awarded. Indicate this with “ECF”, error carried forward. Units should always be given where appropriate. Omission of units should only be penalised once. Indicate this by “U-1” at the first point it occurs. Ignore this, if marks for units are already specified in the markscheme. Do not penalise candidates…
