10(a) Suggest a suitable hypothesis for this scientific investigation
A primary filter allows only its own colour to pass through it

(b) Using red filter, blue filter, green filter and other apparatus, describe an experiment
based on the following criteria

•Aim of the experiment

To investigate the action of primary coloured filters on white light

•Identifying the variables

Manipulated : Primary coloured filters
Constant : White screen
Responding : Colour of light transmit / produce on the screen

•List of apparatus and materials

*Red filter, blue filter, green filter, ray box and white screen

•Procedure
P1- Arrange ray box, blue filter and white screen or diagram -1
P2 - Switch on the ray box – 1
P3 – Observe and record the colour light transmitted on the screen -1
P4 – Repeat the experiment using red and green filter -1

•Tabulation of data

Type of filter Colours Transmitted

Red
Green
Blue

Study the above figure. Explain how you would develop concept based on the information in Figure 11
Your answer should be based on the following steps:
•Identify two common characteristics
P1 – Shiny and lustrous
P2 - Good conductor of electricity / heat
P3 – High boiling / melting point
P4 – Strong
P5 – can be beaten and pulled

•Develop initial concept

Any two points above are metal
Eg : Good conductor of electricity and strong are metal*

•Give other example and non-example in relation to the concept

Other example : lead // zinc // gold
Non-example : sulphur // chlorine // bromine // iodine

•Explain the actual concept

Metal are substance that any two points
Eg : *Metal are substance that are good conductor of electricity and strong

12(a) State three purposes of alloying and give one example of alloy
P1 – Alloys are stronger
P2 – Alloys give a better shiny and beautiful appearance
P3 – Alloys can withstand corrosion
Eg : Brass // bronze //duralumin // steel // pewter

(b) Sungai Pasir Industrial Park is becoming heavily polluted with toxic gases released by factories. After several years,
acid rain takes place at the industrial park.You as an environment officer have been asked to explain to the factories
manager how to overcome this problem

Your answer should include the following:

•Identify the problem
Sungai Pasir ndustrial Park become polluted with toxic gases released by the factories

•Clarification of the problem

Acid rain takes place at Sungai Pasir Industrial Park

•Solving methods
P1 – Electrostatic precipitator can be fitted to the factory chimneys
P2 – Tall chimneys can be built to direct smoke high into the air
P3 – Toxic gases should be treated before they are releases into the air

•Choose the best method and explain your choice

Electrostatic precipitator fitted at the chimneys will attract large waste particles such as carbon
