This question was very poorly answered. (a) Many candidates stated that particles start to vibrate, rather than vibrate faster. (b) Candidates confused conduction and convection and frequently wrote about particles expanding and becoming less dense. (c) Answers were generally poor. Few candidates mentioned waves, rays or infrared and many wrote about heat transferring to the air, or heat moving from hot to cold. E5. (a) (b) E6.(a) (b) (c) (ii) A poorly answered question, with only the very best students scoring both marks. Many students simply stated that there were fewer particles in a gas. (i) Students found difficulty in describing the way in which the motion of the ball bearings was similar to that of the gas particles; the difficulty was often with the language rather than the science. (ii) Some students referred to the ball bearings in the model instead of to the particles in the gas. Some students simply said that the particles moved ‘more’. There were many students who failed to attempt this question. Whilst many answers referred to the arrangement of particles in solids and gases, fewer responses referred to the forces between the particles. (b) E7.(a) (i) Students found great difficulty in drawing a representation of a liquid - many of the diagrams looking like the structure of a gas rather than a liquid. (i) Just under half of the students answered correctly in terms of particles leaving the container / liquid. Other answers seen just referred to the particles ‘rising.’ (ii) Many answers referred to particles needing energy to escape, but often just stated ‘gaining energy’, without specifying that they had more energy than the particles that remained. Very few students gained the second marking point because they did not refer to “mean / average” energy. A fair number of students gained the third mark by linking a decrease in energy to the decrease in temperature. (i) Nearly all students answered this correctly. (ii) Nearly all students answered this correctly. (i) Nearly all students answered this correctly. (ii) Nearly all students answered this correctly. (i) The majority of students correcty chose evaporation. (ii) Most students knew that if the weather became warmer or more windy the puddle of water would evaporate faster. A few students were unspecific and simply wrote “temperature” or “the Sun”. E8.(a) (b) (c) Nearly all students recognised two situations that represented conduction and convection. (i) Almost all students were able to read the starting value of temperature from a cooling curve. (ii) Nearly all students correctly calculated the temperature fall from the cooling curve. Those who got it wrong gave the value of the temperature reached rather than the change in temperature. (iii) The given graph showed the cooling curves for three cups of different crosssectional areas. Students were asked which cup showed the greatest rate of cooling. Only half of the students were able to give a reason because they did not refer to temperature drop in a given time. (iv) A diagram of a fourth container was given and students had to draw the expected cooling curve on the same axes. This was well done with four-fifths of students scoring full marks. (v) Nearly all students recognised that the lowest temperature reached after four hours was also room temperature. (i) The calculation of energy transferred from the water, where the mass of water was given in grams, was correctly done by two-thirds of the students. (ii) The explanation of evaporation causing the cooling of water was very poorly answered with half of the students scoring zero marks. Many students described convection and very few referred to the reduction in the mean energy of the particles when the most energetic had escaped from the surface of the water. Only a tenth of students scored three or four marks.
