accept ‘room temperature’
do not accept responses that describe rates of heating.
1 (L7)
any one from
•
rate of evaporation
accept ‘the time for it to evaporate’

lost
•
time taken for all the water to evaporate

‘same heater’ and ‘same starting measurement’ are
insufficient
•
shape of container
•
same ambient conditions
accept ‘room temperature’ if the independent variable is
‘water temperature’
1 (L7)
(b)
a column or row indicating temperature and a column or
row indicating time or volume lost or volume remaining
accept a column or row indicating ‘rate of evaporation’
accept ‘amount lost’ or ‘amount remaining’
both headings are required for the mark
the units of measurement are not necessary for the mark
the second column or row should be consistent with the
