GUIDELINES FOR MARKING/RIGLYNE VIR NASIEN

This section provides guidelines for the way in which marks will be allocated. The broad
principles must be adhered to in the marking of Physical Sciences tests and examinations.

Hierdie afdeling verskaf riglyne vir die manier waarop punte toegeken sal word. Die breë
beginsels moet tydens die nasien van Fisiese Wetenskappe toetse en eksamens gevolg word.

1.1     MARK ALLOCATION/PUNTETOEKENNING

        1.1.1        Definitions/Definisies: Two marks will be awarded for a correct
                     definition. No marks will be awarded for an incorrect or partially correct
                     definition.
                     Twee punte sal vir ŉ korrekte definisie toegeken word. Geen punte sal
                     vir ŉ verkeerde of gedeeltelik korrekte definisie toegeken word nie.

        1.1.2        Calculations/Berekeninge:
                     o    Marks will be awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution,
                          correct answer with unit. Punte sal toegeken word vir: korrekte
                          formule, korrekte substitusie, korrekte antwoord met eenheid.
                     o    No marks will be awarded if an incorrect or inappropriate formula
                          is used, even though there may be relevant symbols and
                          applicable substitutions. Geen punte sal toegeken word waar ŉ
                          verkeerde of ontoepaslike formule gebruik word nie, selfs al is
                          daar relevante simbole en relevante substitusies.

        1.1.3        Explanations and interpretations/Verduidelikings en
                     interpretasie:
                     Allocation of marks to questions requiring interpretation or explanation
                     e.g. AS 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, will differ and may include the
                     use of rubrics, checklists, memoranda, etc. In all such answers
                     emphasis must be placed on scientific concepts relating to the
                     question.
                     Toekenning van punte by vrae wat interpretasie of verduideliking
                     vereis bv. AS 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2 en 3.3, sal verskil en mag die
                     gebruik van rubrieke, kontrolelyste, memoranda, ens. insluit. By al
                     hierdie antwoorde moet die wetenskaplike konsepte, met betrekking
                     tot die vraag, beklemtoon word.

1.2     FORMULAE AND SUBSTITUTIONS/FORMULES EN SUBSTITUSIES

        1.2.1        Mathematical manipulations and change of subjects of appropriate
                     formulae carry no marks, but if a candidate starts with the correct
                     formula and then changes the subject of the formula incorrectly, marks
                     will be awarded for the formula and the correct substitutions. The mark
                     for the incorrect numerical answer is forfeited.
                     Wiskundige manipulering en verandering van die voorwerp van
                     toepaslike formules dra geen punte nie, maar as ŉ kandidaat begin
                     met die korrekte formule en dan die voorwerp van die formule verkeerd
                     uitwerk, sal punte vir die formule en korrekte substitusie toegeken
                     word.

Copyright reserved                                                                  Please turn over

        1.2.2        When an error is made during substitution into a correct formula, a
                     mark will be awarded for the correct formula and for the correct
                     substitutions, but no further marks will be given.
                     Wanneer ŉ fout gedurende substitusie in ŉ korrekte formule
                     begaan word, sal ŉ punt vir die korrekte formule en vir korrekte
                     substitusie toegeken word, maar geen verdere punte sal toegeken
                     word nie.

        1.2.3        Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation has been
                     attempted, i.e. substitutions have been made or a numerical answer
                     given.
                     Punte sal slegs toegeken word vir ŉ formule as ŉ poging aangewend
                     is om ŉ berekening te doen d.w.s. substitusie is gedoen of ŉ
                     numerieke antwoord is verskaf.

        1.2.4        Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are
                     substituted into formulae and not when listed before a calculation
                     starts.
                     Punte kan slegs toegeken word vir substitusies wanneer waardes in
                     formules ingestel is en nie vir waardes wat voor ŉ berekening gelys is
                     nie.

        1.2.5        All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done to
                     two decimal places.
                     Alle berekenings, wanneer nie in die vraag gespesifiseer word nie,
                     moet tot twee desimale plekke gedoen word.

1.3     UNITS/EENHEDE

        1.3.1        Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an
                     incorrect unit within a question or sub-question.
                     ŉ Kandidaat sal slegs een keer gepenaliseer word vir die herhaaldelike
                     gebruik van ŉ verkeerde eenheid in ŉ vraag of subvraag.

        1.3.2        Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
                     Eenhede word slegs in die finale antwoord tot ŉ vraag verlang.

        1.3.3        Marks are only awarded for an answer, and not for a unit per se.
                     Candidates will therefore forfeit the mark allocated for the answer in
                     each of the following situations:
                      correct answer + wrong unit
                      wrong answer + correct unit
                      correct answer + no unit.
                     Punte word slegs vir ŉ antwoord en nie vir ŉ eenheid per se toegeken
                     nie. Kandidate sal derhalwe die punt vir die antwoord in die volgende
                     gevalle verbeur:
                      korrekte antwoord + verkeerde eenheid
                      verkeerde antwoord + korrekte eenheid
                         korrekte antwoord + geen eenheid

Kopiereg voorbehou                                                             Blaai om asseblief

        1.3.4        SI units must be used except in certain cases, e.g. V.m-1 instead of
                     N.C-1, and cm.s-1 or km.h-1 instead of m.s-1 where the question warrants
                     this. (This instruction only applies to Paper 1).
                     SI-eenhede moet gebruik word behalwe in sekere gevalle, bv. V.m-1 in
                     plaas van of N.C-1, en cm.s-1 of km.h-1 in plaas van m.s-1 waar die vraag
                     dit verlang. (Hierdie instruksie geld slegs vir Vraestel 1).

1.4     POSITIVE MARKING/POSITIEWE NASIEN

        Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
        Positiewe nasien met betrekking tot berekeninge sal in die volgende gevalle geld:

        1.4.1        Subquestion to subquestion: When a certain variable is calculated in
                     one subquestion (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another (3.2 or
                     3.3), e.g. if the answer for 3.1 is incorrect and is substituted correctly in
                     3.2 or 3.3, full marks are to be awarded for the subsequent sub
                     questions.
                     Subvraag na subvraag: Wanneer ŉ sekere veranderlike in een
                     subvraag (bv. 3.1) bereken word en dan in ŉ ander vervang moet word
                     (3.2 of 3.3), bv. indien die antwoord vir 3.1 verkeerd is en word korrek in
                     3.2 of 3.3 vervang, word volpunte aan die daaropvolgende subvraag
                     toegeken.

        1.4.2        A multi-step question in a subquestion: If the candidate has to
                     calculate, for example, current in the first step and gets it wrong due to a
                     substitution error, the mark for the substitution and the final answer will
                     be forfeited.
                     ŉ Vraag met veelvuldige stappe in ŉ subvraag: Indien ŉ kandidaat
                     byvoorbeeld, die aantal mol verkeerd bereken in ŉ eerste stap as gevolg
                     van ŉ substitusiefout, verloor die kandidaat die punt vir die substitusie
                     sowel as die finale antwoord.

        1.4.3        If a final answer to a calculation is correct, full marks will not automatically
                     be awarded. Markers will always ensure that the correct/ appropriate
                     formula is used and that workings, including substitutions, are correct.
                     Indien ŉ finale antwoord tot ŉ berekening korrek is, sal volpunte nie
                     outomaties toegeken word nie. Nasieners sal altyd verseker dat die
                     korrekte toepaslike formule gebruik is en dat bewerkings, insluitende
                     substitusies, korrek is.

        1.4.4        Questions where a series of calculations have to be made (e.g. a circuit
                     diagram question) do not necessarily always have to follow the same
                     order. FULL MARKS will be awarded provided it is a valid solution to the
                     problem. However, any calculation that will not bring the candidate closer
                     to the answer than the original data, will not count any marks.
                     Vrae waar ŉ reeks berekeninge gedoen moet word
                     (bv. ŉ stroombaandiagram-vraag) hoef dieselfde volgorde nie
                     noodwendig gevolg te word nie. VOLPUNTE sal toegeken word mits dit
                     ŉ geldige oplossing tot die probleem is. Maar, enige berekening wat nie
                     die kandidaat nader aan die antwoord bring as die oorspronklike data
                     nie, sal egter geen punte nie tel nie.

 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2020)                FISIESE WETENSKAPPE V2                                       5

        1.4.5        If one answer or calculation is required, but two given by the candidate,
                     only the first one will be marked, irrespective of which one is correct. If
                     two answers are required, only the first two will be marked, etc.
                     Indien een antwoord of berekening verlang word, maar twee word deur
                     die kandidaat gegee, sal slegs die eerste een nagesien word, ongeag
                     watter een korrek is. Indien twee antwoorde verlang word, sal slegs die
                     eerste twee nagesien word, ens.

        1.4.6        Normally, if based on a conceptual mistake, an incorrect answer cannot
                     be correctly motivated. If the candidate is therefore required to motivate
                     in question 3.2 the answer given to question 3.1, and 3.1 is incorrect, no
                     marks can be awarded for question 3.2. However, if the answer for e.g.
                     3.1 is based on a calculation, the motivation for the incorrect answer for
                     3.2 could be considered.
                     Normaalweg, as dit gebaseer is op ŉ konsepfout, kan ŉ verkeerde
                     antwoord nie korrek gemotiveer word nie. As die kandidaat derhalwe
                     met ŉ vraag in 3.2 gevra word om die antwoord in vraag 3.1 te motiveer,
                     en 3.1 is verkeerd, sal geen punte vir vraag 3.2 toegeken word nie. As
                     die antwoord in bv. 3.1 egter gebaseer is op ŉ berekening, kan die
                     motivering vir die verkeerde antwoord oorweeg word.

        1.4.7        If instructions regarding method of answering are not followed, e.g. the
                     candidate does a calculation when the instruction was to solve by
                     construction and measurement, a candidate may forfeit all the marks
                     for the specific question.
                     Indien instruksies aangaande metode van beantwoording nie gevolg
                     word nie, bv. die kandidaat doen ŉ berekening wanneer die instruksie
                     los op deur konstruksie en meting was, mag die kandidaat al die punte
                     vir die spesifieke vraag verbeur.

        1.4.8        For an error of principle, no marks are awarded (Rule 1) e.g. If the
                     potential difference is 200 V and resistance is 25 Ω, calculate the current.
                     Vir ŉ verkeerde beginsel, sal geen punte toegeken word nie (Reël 1)
                     bv. As die potensiaalverskil 200 V en die weerstand 25 Ω is, bereken die
                     stroom.

1.5     GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF MARKING IN CHEMISTRY/
        ALGEMENE BEGINSELS BY DIE NASIEN van CHEMIE

        The following are a number of guidelines that specifically apply to Paper 2.
        Die volgende is ŉ aantal riglyne wat spesifiek op Vraestel 2 van toepassing is.

        1.5.1        When a chemical FORMULA is asked, and the NAME is given as
                     answer, only one of the two marks will be awarded. The same rule
                     applies when the NAME is asked and the FORMULA is given.
                     Wanneer ŉ chemiese FORMULE gevra word en die NAAM word as
                     antwoord gegee, sal slegs een van die twee punte toegeken word.
                     Dieselfde reël geld wanneer die NAAM gevra word en die FORMULE
                     gegee word.

        1.5.2        When redox half-reactions are to be written, the correct arrow should
                     be used. If the equation
                                            H2S → S + 2H+ + 2e- (2/2)

                     is the correct answer, the following marks will be given:
                     Wanneer redokshalfreaksies geskryf moet word, moet die korrekte
                     pyltjie gebruik word. Indien die bostaande vergelyking die korrekte
                     antwoord is, sal die volgende punte toegeken word:

                     H2S ⇋ S + 2H+ + 2e- (1/2)
                     H2S ← S + 2H+ + 2e- (0/2)
                     S + 2H+ + 2e- ← H2S (2/2)
                     S + 2H+ + 2e- ⇋ H2S (0/2)

        1.5.3        When candidates are required to give an explanation involving the
                     relative strength of oxidising and reducing agents, the following is
                     unacceptable:

                        Stating the position of a substance on Table 4 only (e.g. Cu is
                         above Mg).
                        Using relative reactivity only (e.g. Mg is more reactive than Cu).
                        The correct answer would for instance be: Mg is a stronger
                         reducing agent than Cu, and therefore Mg will be able to reduce
                         Cu2+ ions to Cu. The answer can also be given in terms of the
                         relative strength as electron acceptors and donors.

                     Wanneer kandidate ŉ verduideliking moet gee oor die relatiewe sterkte
                     van oksideer- en reduseermiddels, is die volgende onaanvaarbaar:

                      Meld slegs die posisie van ŉ stof op tabel 4 (bv. Cu is bo Mg).
                      Gebruik slegs relatiewe reaktiwiteit (bv. Mg is meer reaktief as Cu).
                      Die korrekte antwoord sal byvoorbeeld wees: Mg is ŉ sterker
                       reduseermiddel as Cu en derhalwe sal Mg in staat wees om Cu2+-
                       ione na Cu te reduseer. Die antwoord kan ook in terme van die
                       relatiewe sterkte van elektronakseptors of donors gegee word.

        1.5.4        One mark will be forfeited when the charge of an ion is omitted per
                     equation.
                     Een punt sal verbeur word wanneer die lading van ŉ ioon per
                     vergelyking weggelaat is.

        1.5.5        The error carrying principle does not apply to chemical equations or
                     half-reactions. For example, if a learner writes the wrong
                     oxidation/reduction half-reaction in the subquestion and carries the
                     answer to another subquestion (balancing of equations or calculations
                     of Eθcell) then the learner is not credited for this substitution.
                     Die foutdraendebeginsel geld nie vir chemiese vergelykings of
                     halfreaksies nie. Byvoorbeeld, indien ŉ leerder die verkeerde
                     oksidasie/reduksie-halfreaksie vir die subvraag skryf en die antwoord
                     na ŉ ander subvraag dra (balansering van vergelyking vir of E𝜃sel) dan
                     word die leerder nie vir die substitusie gekrediteer nie.

        1.5.6        When a calculation of the cell potential of a galvanic cell is expected,
                     marks will only be awarded for the formula if one of the formulae
                     indicated on the data sheet (Table 2) is used. The use of any other
                     formula using abbreviations etc. will carry no marks.
                     Wanneer ŉ berekening van die selpotensiaal van ŉ gegalvaniseerde
                     sel verlang word, sal punte slegs vir die formule toegeken word as een
                     van die formules op die gegewensblad (Tabel 2) gebruik word. Die
                     gebruik van enige ander formule, die gebruik van afkortings, ens. sal
                     geen punte toegeken word nie.

        1.5.7        In the structural formula of an organic molecule all hydrogen atoms
                     must be shown. Marks will be deducted if hydrogen atoms are omitted.
                     In die struktuurformule van ŉ organiese molekuul moet alle
                     waterstofatome getoon word. Punte sal afgetrek word vir die
                     weglating van waterstofatome.

        1.5.8        When a structural formula is asked, marks will be deducted if the
                     candidate writes the condensed formula.
                     Wanneer ŉ struktuurformule gevra word, sal punte afgetrek word
                     indien die leerder die verkorte formule skryf.

        1.5.9        When an IUPAC name is asked, and the candidate omits the hyphen
                     (e.g. instead of 1-pentene the candidate writes 1 pentene), marks will
                     be forfeited.
                     Wanneer die IUPAC-naam gevra word en die koppelteken(s) in die
                     naam word uitgelaat (bv. in plaas van 1-penteen skryf ŉ kandidaat
                     1 penteen), sal punte verbeur word.
