1. Make and state the observation
- Observation skill & critical
thinking
2. Make comparison
- State the similarities and
differences

9. 5 POINTS
1. →9.1 SINK DEEPER THAN 9.2
2. → BOTH WEIGHT ARE SAME
3. → AREA 9.2 IS LARGER THAN 9.I
4. → DEPTH INCREASES, PRESSURE
INCREASES
5. → AREA INCREASES, DEPTH
DECREASES

11. 1. The Fan blows the air out of the
vent

13. characteristics reasons

14. characteristics reasons
oil Cannot be compress
Low density Lighter
High boiling point Does not change to
gas state easily
Small master piston Small force used
Bigger slave piston Produce bigger force
Aluminium /Steel Strong (hard ×)/ does
not rust easily

15. Section C : DECISION MAKING
NOTE
• DO WRITE EACH CRITERIA FOR THE
CHOSEN SUBJECT
• DO STATE THE CHARACTERISTIC AS
HIGH / LOW /LARGE /SMALL
• DO THE JUSTIFICATION BY
REPEATING ALL THE CHARACTERICS
OF THE CHOSEN SUBJECT.

16. Section C : DECISION MAKING
NOTE
• DON’T WRITE THE CRITERIA FOR ALL
THE CHOICES GIVEN IN THE
QUESTION
• DON’T STATE VALUE
• DON’T COMPARE BETWEEN THE
CRITERIA

20. Q.12-2008
• A new harbour is to be built at a new
location. The suggested new location
is either at a bay or a cape. Four
models for the structure of the
retaining wall are given. Table 12
below shows the location and the
characteristics of the four retaining
walls.

21. • Explain the best location and the
suitability of each characterictics in
Table12.
• Determine the most suitable retaining
wall to be used.
• Give the reason for your choice.
