Answering technique

The PMR science exam consists of two papers: Paper 1 (40 marks)

40 objective questions.

One hour to complete the paper.

Cover all 27 Science topics from Form One to Form Three.

There will be at least one question from each topic.

The questions are broken down into:

50% easy questions; that is about 20 questions.

30% moderate questions; that is about 12 questions.

20% difficult question; that is about eight questions.

Paper 2 (60 marks)

Section A consists of six questions for 40 marks.

Section B consists of two questions for 20 marks.

Only questions from selected topics will be asked.

Answers can be written all in English or all in Bahasa Melayu or a combination of both language [Please do not combine both languages in the same sentence!]

You may answer part of the question in one language and the other part in the other language.

The questions are broken down into:

50% easy questions; that is about 30 marks.

30% moderate questions; that is about 18 marks.

20% difficult questions; that is about 12 marks.

The type of questions commonly asked in Paper 2 are:

Labelling questions

Classification

Questions based on experiments

w w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m / T u t o r M r S u n

Chemical tests

Calculation

Principles of science

Drawing

Structured questions

General questions

The last question in Paper 2 is usually question number 8, which carries 12 marks. This question will be based on an experiment where you have to write down: Readings [Make sure the unit of measurement you use is correct]

Variables

Constant variable [This is the fixed variable]

Manipulated variable [This is the factor that is changed in the experiment to get the specific result. ie: Length of wire (cm)]

Responding variable [This comes from the readings or the results of the experiment. ie: Ammeter reading]

Aim of experiment

Example: To study/investigate the relationship between the manipulated and the responding variable.

Hypothesis

This shows the relationship between the manipulated and the responding variable.

Writing format: “When the manipulated variable increases/decreases, the responding variable will increase/decrease.”

Observation

What can be observed or what you can see.

Plot a line or bar chart

Prediction

This will be based on your graph, where you have to predict a reading for the responding variable when given a value for the manipulated variable.

Example of a question: From the graph, find out the value of T when the mass is 10g.

Inference

This is the early conclusion based on your observations.

Example: The change in the responding variable depends on the manipulated variable.

Conclusion This is the same as the hypothesis.

Note: It is very important to get your manipulated variable and the

responding variable correct Example :...Question 8: A group of students carried out an experiment, using a spring and a set of slotted weights as shown in the diagram below, to investigate the relationship between the length of the spring and the weight

Number of slotted weights Extension of spring / cm

1 10

2 20

3 30

4 40

5 50

1. State the variables that are involved in the experiment

Manipulated variable => Number of slotted weights. Common error: Students only write “weights”. You must write out the answer in full.

Responding variable => The answer should be the variable that when changed will affect the reading.

Tutor’s comment: Look at the table 1, the first column is the

manipulated variable and the second column is the responding

variable.

2. What is the aim of this experiment?

Answer: To investigate the relationship between the number of slotted

weights and the extension of the spring.

Tutor’s comment: It is to investigate the relationship between the

manipulated variable and the responding variable.

3. What is the inference that you can make based on this experiment?

Answer: The extension of the spring increase because the number of

slotted weights increase.

4. What is the relationship between the force applied to the

spring and the extension of the spring?

Answer: When the force applied to the spring increases, the extension of

the spring increases.

5. Based on the data, draw a graph to show the relationship between

the length of the spring and the number of slotted weights.

Tutor’s comment: Use a pencil when drawing the graph. If

the question did not specify which type of graph to draw, draw a

line graph.

Predict the length of the spring if 6 slotted weights are used.

Answer: 60cm

Tutor’s comment: Draw the corresponding lines on your graph

and get the reading from the graph.

What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment?

Answer: When the number of slotted weights increases, the

extension of the spring also increases.

Tutor’s comment: The conclusion will be the same as your

hypothesis, that is “When the manipulated variable

increase/decreases, the responding variable will

increase/decrease.”

Diagram 8.2 shows an experiment carried out by student to study the factor that affects air

pressure. The piston are pushed slowly inwards to compress the air inside the syringe. The

volume and the pressure gauge reading are recorded on Table 8.1.

Rajah 8.2 menunjukkan satu eksperimen untuk mengkaji faktor yang mempengaruhi tekanan

udara. Omboh ditolak dengan perlahan ke dalam untuk memampatkan udara di dalam picagari.

Contoh soalan yang biasa ditanya ialah:

1. Menyatakan perbandingan

Contoh soalan: State one difference between............................ / Nyatakan satu perbezaan diantara......................

Untuk menjawab soalan ini, calon mesti melihat perbezaan yang terdapat didalam rajah dan buat perbandingan.

Contoh: Belalang dalam bekas J telah mati manakala belalang dalam bekas K masih hidup.

Contoh: Mentol A menyala lebih terang manakala mentol B menyala dengan malap

2. Menyatakan inferens

Sebab atau penerangan daripada pemerhatian.

Mulai PMR 2012, calon diwajibkan menggunakan perkataan kerana dan bukan lagi bergantung kepada atau mempengaruhi atau dipengaruhi.Pemerhatian kebiasaannya adalah pembolehubah bergerakbalas.

Contoh: Mentol A menyala lebih terang kerana rintangannya rendah.

.......................................................................... kerana .................................................................

(Pemerhatian-RV) (Sebab)

3. Merekod bacaan

Mengukur suatu kuantiti dari rajah dan dicatatkan di dalam jadual.

Calon mesti mempunyai kemahiran untuk mengukur dengan memberi jawapan yang paling tepat.

Contoh: Record the time taken for the..................................

4. Meramal

Meramal suatu kuantiti dan dinyatakan dalam bentuk angka, julat atau ayat.

Contoh: Predict the time taken for the..........................

Contoh jawapan: 10s(angka) , 5 – 15 s(julat) , lebih daripada 5s(ayat)

Markah 1:Memindahkan titik dari jadual ke graf dengan tepat

Markah 2:Menyambungkan titik-titik untuk membina garis hingga ke asalan(bagi graf) atau melukis bar dengan tepat

6. Membuat hipotesis / hubungan

Kenyataan yang menghubungkan di antara pembolehubah manipulasi(MV) dengan

pembolehubah bergerakbalas (RV)

Contoh: The longer the wire, the lower the current. / Semakin panjang wayar, semakin berkurang arus.

Semakin.......................................,semakin...............................................

(MV) (RV)

7. Menyatakan pembolehubah

Manipulated variable(MV) - pembolehubah yang boleh diubah-ubah seperti saiz,bentuk,bilangan, suhu dan sebagainya.

Responding variable(RV) - hasil keputusan eksperimen yang dicatat

Constant variable-kuantiti yang ditetapkan agar tidak mempengaruhi keputusan lain

Peringatan: Radas tidak boleh dipertimbangkan sebagai pembolehubah.

Contoh: Jenis radas

Cara menulis pembolehubah:

Mesti tulis parameter untuk setiap pembolehubah

Contoh: panjang spring / ketebalan spring / jisim logam / saiz bahan / isipadu cecair / jenis spring

Jika calon tulis ‘spring’ sahaja maka jawapan adalah salah.

Pembolehubah boleh dikenalpasti daripada jadual dan graf

1. Dari jadual:

Jawapan:

Rate of dissolving is time taken for the salt to dissolve. / Kadar keterlarutan ialah masa yang diambil untuk garam melarut.

Cara menjawab:

Rate of dissolving is .................................................................................

(Wajib tulis semula) (RV)

Jika calon tulis jawapan seperti berikut: is rate of dissolving ( jawapan calon adalah salah )

Jika calon tidak pasti jawapan untuk RV maka langkah terakhir yang calon boleh lakukan adalah dengan merujuk kepada pembolehubah bergerakbalas (RV) pada paksi-Y dan tulis pada ruang jawapan.
