[1] (ii) Label a sepal on your drawing. What is the function of the sepal? [2] (b) Using tweezers, carefully remove the sepals, petals and stamens and place them on your white tile. (i) Draw one petal and one stamen in the spaces below. petal stamen (ii) Label the anther on your drawing. [3]

Mark this point of attachment on your drawing with the letter X. Measure the length of the petal on your diagram. mm Now measure the length of this petal on the white tile. mm (iv) Use the two lengths you have measured to calculate the magnification of your drawing.

4 © UCLES 2005 0653/05/M/J/05 For Examiner’s Use 2 You are going to investigate the relationship between the deflection of a metre rule and the mass responsible for the deflection. Fix a metre rule to the bench using a clamp or heavy weight so that 700mm of the rule extends beyond the edge of the bench. See Fig.2.1 heavy weight metre rule metre rule 300 mm mark 950 mm mark 0 mm mark 0 mm mark ho Fig.2.1 (a) Use the second rule to measure in millimetres the height, ho, as shown in Fig.2.1, and record it in Fig.2.2. (b) Place a lump of plasticine or clay on the 950 mm mark of the rule, causing the rule to bend. Remove some plasticine, or add more, until the rule has deflected between 40 mm and 50 mm. The height, h, will now be between 40 and 50 mm less than ho. Record this height of the end of the rule in the space below. height of end of rule above the floor = mm [1] (c) Remove the plasticine from the rule and divide it into three pieces, approximately equal in size. (d) Weigh one of these pieces to the nearest gram and record its mass in the table Fig. 2.2. Place this weighed lump on the 950 mm mark on the rule. Measure and record the new height, h, in the table Fig. 2.2 (e) Weigh a second piece of plasticine to the nearest gram. • Record this mass in Fig. 2.2. • Add this piece of plasticine to the first. Find the height, h, when the total mass is placed on the 950 mm mark. • Record the height and the total mass in the table Fig. 2.2. • Repeat this procedure until you have four sets of readings of total mass and resultant height.

6 © UCLES 2005 0653/05/M/J/05 For Examiner’s Use 3 You are going to measure the temperature rise when three different metals, A, B and C, are reacted with hydrochloric acid. Read all the instructions before starting the experiment. (a) Using a measuring cylinder, add 5 cm3 of the dilute hydrochloric acid to a test-tube. Measure the temperature of the acid to the nearest 0.5 oC and record it in Fig.3.1. Add metal A to the acid and gently stir the mixture with the thermometer. Note the maximum temperature reached during a three-minute period and record any other observations in Fig.3.1. Remove the thermometer and rinse it with water. (b) Repeat the procedure in (a), using the sample of metal B. (c) Repeat the procedure in (a) using the sample of metal C. You are advised to place the tube in the rack as soon as you have added the acid. Also test the gas given off with a lighted spill. Record the result of this test in the observations column of Fig.3.1. (d) Complete Fig. 3.1 by calculating the temperature rise in each case. temperature of acid/oC observations metal initial maximum temperature rise A B C Fig. 3.1 [7]

[1] (ii) On the basis of the results you have obtained, place the metals in order of decreasing reactivity, i.e. the most reactive first. [1] (iii) Which observations tell you that one metal is more reactive than the other two? [1]

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the June 2005 question paper 0653 COMBINED SCIENCE 0653/05 Paper 5 (Practical Test), maximum raw mark 30 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the June 2005 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com

Grade thresholds taken for Syllabus 0653 (Combined Science) in the June 2005 examination. minimum mark required for grade: maximum mark available A C E F Component 5 30 24 17 13 11 The threshold (minimum mark) for B is set halfway between those for Grades A and C. The threshold (minimum mark) for D is set halfway between those for Grades C and E. The threshold (minimum mark) for G is set as many marks below the F threshold as the E threshold is above it. Grade A* does not exist at the level of an individual component.
