Part 2 paper 6
First question A
A) independent variable …..changeable …..investigate the effect of ………
B) dependent variables ……..recorded, measured, observed , counted ,
calculated .
C) controlled variable….SAME / 2 cm3 / 3 drops/ %
D) source of error
[Link] repeats ….replication …repeat 3 more times at each temp / pH /
concentration.
2. Cross Contamination ……using same tools
3. Dilution ….rinse without drying …..use new measuring cylinder / test tube
4. Color change used to judge end point …subjective judgment to color change
…better to use a colorimeter .
5. Shaking ….spillage and inconsistent mixing being non standardized ..
6. Drops …not of same size
7. No stirring …..settle at the bottom …use a stirrer to stir
8. Temperature not maintained ……improvement using thermostatic water bath /
agar plates / petridishes use incubator . _
9. Measuring ….of 3 exp at the same time …. Do them separately / stagger
the start time .
10. No equilibration .
Equilibrate
Light intensity
temperature
Why repeat ?
Take average , to be able to exclude anomalous results

2. Answer some questions Counted
A) controlled variables
B) name dependent and independent Heat / alcohol
C) calculation ..cross multiplication
Cutting ( cut away from your
D) safety precaution / hazard

E) independent / dependent variables board )
F) conclusion .. Acids and alkalis \irritants
Link independent + results /outcome
Results
Effect of temp on the activity of amylase
Dependent : time taken for iodine solution to remain yellow brown
Effect of surface area on catalase activity
Dependent : measuring the volume of O2 gas produced
Drawing a graph C
A) bar chart …..independent variable ( non measurable )
B) histogram ……range ( 11-15, 16-20, 21—25 )
C) line graph …point to point or a line of best fit so draw a smooth curve / or a line of
best fit
Line graph …point to point using a ruler
Line of best fit ….smooth curve free hand
1. Independent
D Plan an investigation/ describe 2. Controlled variables
1,. Independent variable ( carry the experiment under 5 3. Methodology
different ……add values with units ) …for concentrations 4. Time interval
use mol/ dm3 …for light intensity by keeping lamp at 5. Dependent
different distances from plant ….cm …humidity is g/ m3 6. Safety
7. Repeat
2. Controlled variables ( living and non living )
• temperature using a thermostatic water bath / incubator for petri dish
• pH is maintained using buffer solution
• Light intensity by keeping light source at the same distance from the plant
• Humidity ..humidifier / dehumidifier
• Carbon dioxide concentration using hydrogen carbonate
• Size by cutting to the same size with scalpel
• same species , same age , same size / number of leaves
• Same physical and health state
3. Methodology
( equilibration, water bath , buffer , gas syringe , humidifier/ dehumidifier , stop
watch , digital thermometer , measure color intensity using a colorimeter, pH
meter )
4. Time interval ( 10 mins , if seeds so from 2 to 7 days )
[Link]
Measure the volume of oxygen gas produced using a gas syringe
Measure the distance travelled by the air bubble after 10 mins
Measure the length of the foam after 10 mins
Measure the mass of the plant after 10 mins
Measure the dry mass by putting the plant in hot place / oven to allow water to
evaporate and repeat until plant losses all water .
SAFETY
CONTROL …carry out same experiment without the factor causing the change to
compare the results
6. Repeat ..3 more times at each pH / temp / concentration ….
Accuracy : numbers ( counting measuring size volume )
Reliability : repeats and take average ( sample size )
Validity : controlled variables
. Control : '
Carrying out same experiment without the factor causing the change
To compare the results
And show that the ( factor under investigation) is responsible for (the
change observed )
