Activity 1B - Processing results (8 Marks)

Question 1

Band 0 - (0 marks) 

Answer 1

• No rewardable content

Question 2

Band 1 - (1-2 marks)

Answer 2

Demonstrates limited understanding of the data representation techniques by plotting graphs with significant inaccuracies

• inappropriate annotations of headings and units
• Choice of scaling is inappropriate to the data and used inconsistently
• plots of tabulated data that include significant inaccuracies
• insufficient data plotted to represent results and to produce appropriate lines/curves

Question 3

Band 2 - (3-5 marks)

Answer 3

Demonstrates some understanding of data representation techniques by plotting graphs with minor inaccuracies

• appropriate adaptations of the headings and units
• Choice of skin is appropriate to the data but is not used consistently
• plots of tabulated data that include minor inaccuracies
• Sufficient data Potter to represent results put inappropriate line/curves produced

Question 4

Band 3 - (6-8 marks)

Answer 4

Construct comprehensive understanding of data representation techniques by plotting accurate graphs

• appropriate adaptations of headings and units
• Choice of scaling is appropriate to the data and used consistently
• accurate plots of tabulated data
• sufficient data plotted to represent results to produce appropriate lines/curves

Question 5

Typical characteristics of high-level response to activity 1B :

Answer 5

• The independent variable (mass) will be plotted on the X-axis and the dependent variable (force) will be plotted on the Y-axis
• both graphs will have the axis labelled with a title and the correct units
• both graphs will use the majority of the space available
• Either both graphs will use the same scales allowing direct comparisons for activity 1C, all the graphs will use different skills so that the full use of the space available is made
• all the data recorded in the tables for 1A, will be plotted accurately
• A line of best fit will be drawn that is appropriate to data points plotted
