(Any suitable ics Without tendrils
answer)

P Q, R, S
(According to Letters of 2x1m=2
classification) the plants

Total = 8
8 (a)(i) The clothes in Condition A dry faster than in Condition B 1m

(ii) Time taken for the clothes to dry depends on present of 1m

sunlight/ surrounding temperature
(iii) The higher the temperature, the faster the cloth dry// As 1m
the temperature high, the cloth dry faster.

With heat Without heat Condition

source source

(d) Drop of water on cobalt chloride paper with heat source dry
faster compare to without heat source// Vice versa

(e) The higher the temperature of surrounding the higher the

rate of evaporation

(f) Manipulated V – Present of heat source// lamp

Responding V – Time taken for the (cobalt chloride) paper
to dry
Constant V – Size of cobalt chloride paper// Number of drop
of water/ Volume of water drops
