correctly [must have comparison]
Sample answer:
Copper

Question Rubric Score

1(e) Able to state the hypothesis correctly
Sample answer:
Bronze block has smaller size / diameter of dents than copper block 3
// Bronze is harder than copper // Copper is less harder than bronze
Able to state the hypothesis less correctly 2
If the metal block is hard, the diameter of the dent is smaller //
The diameter of the dent is bigger when the copper block is used //
the diameter of the dent is smaller when the bronze block is used
Able to state idea of hypothesis 1

Able to state less correctly 2
Sample answer :
Dent formed on copper is deep // Dent formed on bronze shallow //
Size of dent on copper block is big // size of dent on bronze is small
Able to state the idea of inference 1
Sample answer :
Depth of dent formed is different // size of dent is different
No response or wrong response 0

Question Rubric Score

1(f)(ii) Able to state the inference correctly based on answer in (f)(i)
Sample answer: 3
1. Copper is less hard than bronze // arrangement of copper atom
are same size, closely pack and orderly manner //layer of atom
easily slide when force is applied
2. Bronze is harder than copper // stanum/foreign atoms distrupts
the orderly manner of the copper atoms in the bronze.// layer of
atom not easily slide when force is applied
[Any one]

Able to state the inference less correctly 2

Sample answer :
The bronze is harder//the hardness of bronze is higher
//copper is less harder

Able to state the idea of inference 1

Bronze is hard// Copper is soft //the hardness of the blocks is
different

1. What work is done
2. Observation
Sample answer:
when 1 kg weight is dropped to hit steel ball bearing on the block,
the diameter of dent produced smaller // 3
when 1 kg weight is dropped to hit steel ball bearing on the block,
the size of dent produced bigger
Able to state the operational definition less correctly 2
Sample answer:
