2 0445/11/M/J/18 © UCLES 2018 Answer one question only on the A3 pre-printed answer sheets provided. 1 A range of equipment is used by young school children when they are having practical lessons. Design a unit that will hold eight pencils, a pair of scissors, a rubber, a glue bottle and a 150 mm rule. The unit should be easily transported and stored when not in use. (a) List four additional points about the function of such a unit that you consider to be important. [4] (b) Use sketches and notes to show two types of carrying handle that could form part of such a unit. [4] (c) Develop and sketch three ideas for the unit. [12] (d) Evaluate your ideas and justify why you have chosen one idea to develop more fully. [8] (e) Draw, using a method of your own choice, a full solution to the problem. Include construction details and important dimensions. [12] (f) Suggest two suitable specific materials for your solution and give reasons for your choice. [4] (g) Outline a method used to manufacture one part of your solution. [6]

3 0445/11/M/J/18 © UCLES 2018 [Turn over 2 Young children are to take part in a school play where they will each be playing a different animal. Design a mask, to represent a particular animal, that could be worn by a child. The mask will be made from lightweight materials. (a) List four additional points about the function of such a mask that you consider to be important. [4] (b) Use sketches and notes to show two ways of securing lightweight materials that are easy to fasten and unfasten. [4] (c) Develop and sketch three different ideas for the mask. [12] (d) Evaluate your ideas and justify why you have chosen one idea to develop more fully. [8] (e) Draw, using a method of your own choice, a full solution to the problem. Include construction details and important dimensions. [12] (f) Suggest two suitable specific materials for your solution and give reasons for your choice. [4] (g) Outline a method used to manufacture one part of your solution. [6]

Design a teaching aid that could be used to show school children how the three orders of lever operate. (a) List four additional points about the function of such a teaching aid that you consider to be important. [4] (b) Use sketches and notes to show examples of two orders of lever. [4] (c) Develop and sketch three ideas for the teaching aid. [12] (d) Evaluate your ideas and justify why you have chosen one idea to develop more fully.

It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ 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 Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2018 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

0445/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 2 of 4 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.
