While answering questions that involve calculations, make sure that you write down all the steps, including the formula used. ,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Section A (Structure),[object Object],Be able to interpret diagrams, photographs, tables and graphs to relate to physics concepts and principles.,[object Object],Give short and concise answer.,[object Object],Underline keywords such as WHAT, HOW etc.,[object Object],Underline the important information given in a question,[object Object],Methods to solve calculation problems- State the related formula- Substitute the value for each formula- Answer with the correct unit,[object Object],Pay attention to the marks allocated. The mark usually indicates the number of points required.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

KEY WORDS IN EXAMINATION QUESTIONS,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Section B,[object Object],Section B consists of two questions. You need to answer only one question from this section. ,[object Object],The marks allocated for this section is 20 marks.,[object Object],You are advised to spend 30 minutes on this section. ,[object Object],The questions from Section B are normally preceded by a diagram that shows a certain state or situation that is related to a specific Physics concept. ,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

You are normally asked to state the characteristics shown in the diagram and also to state the Physics principle involved.,[object Object],Study the marks allocated to each section or sub-section in the question. ,[object Object],The marks allocated in each section may be as high as 10 marks. So you should have at least 10 points or properties. ,[object Object],Equations, diagrams, tables, graphs or other suitable methods may be used to explain your answer. However your answers should be clear and logical.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Section C,[object Object],Section C consists of two questions but you must answer one question only from this section. ,[object Object],The marks for this section are 20 marks. You are advised to spend 30 minutes on this section. ,[object Object],Questions in this section normally require the interpretation of the data provided. ,[object Object],The questions from Section C are normally preceded by a table that is related to a specific Physics concept. ,[object Object],You may be required to plot a graph based on the data given. Make sure that you know the proper steps to plot a graph. ,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Study the marks allocated to each section or sub-section in the question. ,[object Object],The marks allocated in each section may be as high as 10 marks. You should have at least 10 points or properties. ,[object Object],The questions in this section normally require you to state a certain principle or to explain certain properties or characteristics.,[object Object],Note that questions in Section B and C only involve the explanation of theories and do not contain questions that require you to do describe an experiment.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

SPM PAPER 1,[object Object],STRATEGY TO ANSWER PAPER 3- Subjective questions ( 1 hours 30 minutes),[object Object]

Section A.,[object Object],Consists of 2 structured questions. ,[object Object],Answer both.,[object Object],The total marks is 28 marks. ,[object Object], Spend 60 minutes on this section.,[object Object],The questions in this section are based on experiments that you should have already done in the laboratory.,[object Object],The questions in this section normally require you to collect and tabulate the data in a table and to plot a graph.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 3,[object Object]

Required to state the MV, RV and FV based on the aim and the procedure of the experiment. ,[object Object],The questions from this section also involve the interpretation of graphs. ,[object Object], Determine the quantity represented by the slope of the graph provided. ,[object Object],You will also need to know how to determine the slope of the graph.,[object Object],The questions may also involve the calculation of certain quantities. ,[object Object],Make sure that you write down all the steps involved.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Section B,[object Object],Section B consists of two questions.,[object Object], Answer one only.,[object Object],The total marks for this section is 12 marks. ,[object Object],Advised to spend 30 minutes on this section.,[object Object],The questions in this section are normally preceded by a diagram depicting a situation in our daily lives together with a brief write-up on the situation shown.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

State onesuitable inference that can made from the situation.,[object Object],State onesuitable hypothesis that can made from the situation.,[object Object],Based on situation and the apparatus given, design an experiment.,[object Object], Remember you are not doing an experiment.,[object Object],State aim of experiment, variables, material & apparatus used.,[object Object],Provide a fully labeled diagram of the apparatus used. ,[object Object],Write out your procedure in passive form and use short sentences.,[object Object],Tabulate & analyse data. ,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

TIPS FOR SPM Paper 3,[object Object],SPM PAPER 3,[object Object]

Section A (Structure Question),[object Object],Question No. 1:,[object Object],Give the answer in a appropriate sensitivity such:,[object Object],Using Meter Rule as the instrument:,[object Object],the length of spring = 10.0 cm (inappropriate answer: 10 cm; ,[object Object],the accuracy of the meter rule is 0.1 cm),[object Object],Using Vernier Caliper as the instrument:,[object Object],The length of the wooden block = 3.00 cm (inappropriate answer: 3.0 cm; ,[object Object],the accuracy of the meter rule is 0.01 cm),[object Object],Using Micrometer Screw Gauge (MSG) as the instrument:,[object Object],The thickness of a steel plate = 4.30 mm (inappropriate answer: 4.3 mm; ,[object Object],the accuracy of the meter rule is 0.01 mm),[object Object],SPM PAPER 3,[object Object]

Variables (3 marks) ,[object Object],Manipulated variable and responding Variable,[object Object],Students can copy directly from the question (from the sentence of aim of the,[object Object],experiment),[object Object],Fixed variable ,[object Object],must be in measured quantity.,[object Object],Example:,[object Object],The diameter of spring (the measured quantity regarding to the spring should,[object Object],be stated clearly),[object Object],Note:,[object Object],Avoid to give more than 1 answer for this question. Any wrong answer will cancel the correct.,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Tabulation of Data (5 @ 6 marks),[object Object],The answer should contains:,[object Object],Exact coulumns,[object Object],Exact rows,[object Object],Write all the quantities that has units,[object Object],Decimal points for each coulumn must be consistent,[object Object],Accurate measurement,[object Object],Draw A Graph,[object Object],A graph should have:,[object Object],correct axis with units,[object Object],uniform scales,[object Object],points that were correctly plot,[object Object],the best straight line,[object Object],SPM PAPER 1,[object Object]

Relationship between responding and manipulated variable,[object Object],Directly proportional - if a graph shows a straight line begin from (0,0),[object Object],[object Object]

Decreases linearly - if a graph shows a straight with a negative value of gradient of the graphSPM PAPER 1,[object Object]
