These mark schemes are published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination. They show the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks.
They do 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 November 2004 question papers for most IGCSE and
GCE Advanced Level syllabuses.

Marking scheme – general points.
Where the marking scheme does not give specific instructions, apply the following
principles;
- Supervisor’s help;
No penalty for correction of faulty apparatus.
No marks to be awarded where the candidate is at fault in the
section where he/she was helped. eg if told how to use the
apparatus in question 4 then the observation marks cannot be
scored but subsequent marks can score.
B1 Independent mark.
M1 Method mark, if not given subsequent A mark falls (up to the next B, M or C
mark).
(c) use of metre rule with set square against bench with
positions of bench, set square and rule, shown or stated.

2. (a) and (b) Sensible temperatures with unit seen at least once. B1
(c) Energy gained greater than energy lost as cold water gains
thermal energy from beaker
Or
Energy gained less than energy lost as thermal energy is
lost to the surroundings/beaker.
Or
Energy gained is approximately equal to the energy lost as
the heat capacity of the beaker is negligible or there is no
time for thermal energy loss to the surroundings. B1
