Cambridge Assessment International Education Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint 4113/01 October 2021 SCIENCE Paper 1 FINAL MARK SCHEME Maximum Mark: 50 Published This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Markers were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at the Markers’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the End of Series Report ‘Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes, This document has 14 pages. 121 10_1113.0V6RP. © UCLES 2021 [Turn over1113/01 Checkpoint Secondary — Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED General guidelines on marking Many descriptive answers can be expressed in a variety of ways. Professional judgement can be used in these cases, providing it matches the marking points and further information in the mark scheme. Answers may have words spelt incorrectly. Credit is normally given for phonetically correct answers, unless the word has a scientifically different meaning. For example, where the answer should be antennae, credit will be given for antena but not for anthen (too close to anther). Only the science is being assessed so answers do not need to be grammatically correct. Significant figures will be indicated in the question or in the mark scheme. Unless specified all marking points are independent. Annotations and abbreviations Jor alternate responses for the same marking point () brackets the words or units in brackets do not need to be stated, for example, (recycles or releases or provides) minerals = minerals scores the mark underline exact word is required Accept ‘an acceptable response Do not accept _ indicates an incorrect response that would contradict another otherwise correct alternative Ignore indicates an irrelevant answer that is not creditworthy. Full marks can still be achieved even with answers that are ignored. Note provides extra information when necessary ect error carried forward; marks are awarded if an incorrect response has been cartied forward from earlier working, provided the subsequent working is correct ora or reverse argument; for example, as mass increases, volume increases could be written as mass decreases, volume decreases Page 2 of 14antgo1 (Checkpoint Secondary ~ Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED Question ‘Answer Macks Further Information 1 a ae 3 | each conect answer= 1 mark artery aie blood fom the heat lone npn one a ignore oxygenator daoxygent nest | pumps blood (around the body) Ignore crygerated ot deo capillary | *to"s erhenae of sistanoeststneen Blood ‘Accept coplares vein carries blood (back) to the heart eee eee Page 3of 14an1301 Checkpoint Secondary ~ Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED ‘Question Answer Marks Furthor information 210) 1 | moce than one answer circled = 0 marks boling Gondensing)) evaporating meting 2) | any two from 2 [each corect answer = 1 mark (estces are) losing energy (Gattices ae) slowing cown (patticles are) becoming more ordered or arrangement becomes less Fandom er become arranged ina latoce Note each answer must imply a change so paticles do not move is nt awarded a mark Descriptions of particles ina sold ere not sufficient ‘Accept particles get closer together or get more ‘vghty packed or become compacted as an oxtra marking point ‘Accept (atracive) forces between particles increases or gets stronger as an extre marking point Page 4 of 14antgo1 (Checkpoint Secondary ~ Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED Question Answer Marks Further Information 20) 2 | each correct answer = 1 merk tomporaturo ine. ‘ime in minutes line increasing o not accept if any portion of he tine docroasos ‘wo horizontal sections Note lina does not nosso start tthe origin Ignore any labels on tine Page 5 of 14an1301 Checkpoint Secondary ~ Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED ‘Question Marks Further Information 308) c 1 30) 4 1| Accept Neptune 316) E 1| Accopt Jupiter 36) B- Venus 1 F saturn HE Nopiune Page 6 of 14antgo1 (Checkpoint Secondary = Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED Question Answer Marks Further Information 4(@xt) | collector taken or absorb more water Ignore jst take in water ‘Accept o absorb as much water asitcan oF inereace chance of adeoroing Water ‘Accept collector take in or absorb water trom a large, big oF doop ara ‘Accept collector take in or absorb water because foots have alarge surface area tay) | any one trom 4 spines oF spikes (Instead of leaves) to reduce water loss or spinas or ‘Accopt dea of to stop being eaten by animals spikes (instead of leaves) to stop transpiration or evaporation fF spines to stop pant iting Dee tee eee eee ‘Accept does not have leas s0 reduced los of \water oF Po leaves 50 reduced transpiration (fleshy) stem to store water ‘Accept (arge) stem to store water thick wany layer fo reduce water loss 40) cactus —> kangaroo or rats snakes — (deser foxes 2 coreet names in order= 1 mark Accept verse ordor all three correct ars in the directon rom Cactus to fon = 4 mark Page Tot 14an1301 Checkpoint Secondary ~ Mark Scheme October 2021 PUBLISHED ‘Question Answer Marks Further Information 5t2) 2 a (6B incorrect order= 1 mark ED incorrect order = 1 mark 500) ‘sume (acid) 1) Accept nydrogen sulate te) hydrogen 1 Page Bot 14antgo1 (Checkpoint Secondary = Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October 2021 Question Marks Further Information 6) current in ‘umber oflamps correct inear scale and labeling of axis = 1 mark 5 Scala and labeling of yas ll points correctly plated to within half @ square = Smack ‘Accept slots with smal x, dot or dot wth circle 6b) umber oflamps @.3)0r(828) ercler mark ‘smooth curve trough othr plots = 1 mark ‘Accept any indication of anomalous plot 60) (dea that) asthe numberof lamps increases the current decreases, (idea that) the relatonehip ie nt linear each idee = mark Janore negative contelation unquaiiod ‘Accept araph is nota staght ine or lines curved ‘Accept ide that) he elatonship between ‘current end number of lamps is versely proportional = 2 marks Page 901 14an1301 Checkpoint Secondary ~ Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October 2021 Question Answer Marks Further Information Trevi) | photosynthesis 1 ext) | oxvaen 2 | each corect product = 1 mark cose of sugar Tey) | any one rom 1 provides (a source of food provides (a source af eneray provides oxygen fr respation provides glucose for rspraton Tie | roots 1 Accept oot has Teen) | any one trom 1 (ransported) in solution or dissalved in water through xyfom (vessels oF vascular bundles Do not accept phioom Poge 10 0f 14antgo1 (Checkpoint Secondary = Mark Scheme October 2024 PUBLISHED ‘Question Answer Marks Further Information 812) measuring eyinder 1 Be | F0(em") +1) Accept any value rom above 36.em?
