Expectations for each skill (Paper 5)
Planning
Defining the problem
Candidates should be able to:
• identify the independent variable in the experiment
• identify the dependent variable in the experiment
• identify the variables that are to be kept constant.
Methods of data collection
Candidates should be able to:
• describe the method to be used to vary the independent variable
• describe how the independent and dependent variables are to be measured
• describe how other variables are to be kept constant
• describe, with the aid of a clear labelled diagram, the arrangement of apparatus for the experiment and the
procedures to be followed.
For full credit to be awarded in this section, the overall arrangement must be workable, that is, it should be
possible to collect the data required without undue difficulty if the apparatus were assembled as described.
