you should write. The list is in alphabetical order. You should bear in mind that the meaning of a term may
vary slightly according to how the question is worded. TA
Calculate A numerical answer is needed. Show your working, especially when there are two or
more steps in a calculation.
This may be used in two ways:
AD
Deduce
• You find the answer by working out the patterns in the information given to you
and drawing logical conclusions from them. You may need to use information
from tables and graphs and do calculations e.g. deduce what will happen to the
M
velocity of the vehicle if ….

• You have to refer to a Law or scientific theory or give a reason for your answer
e.g. use your knowledge of the kinetic theory to deduce what will happen
AM
when ……
Define A formal statement of a quantity is required. You can sometimes give a defining
equation, e.g. speed = d/t, as long as you state what the symbols are that you use in
your equation, in the example given d = distance, t = time.
H
Describe Try to set out a logical sequence that allows the reader to follow the main points
U
about something. You may use labelled diagrams if you find it easier; e.g. describe a
rotating-coil generator

You may also be asked to describe

• observations; e.g. describe the ways in which a force may change the motion of
a body

resistance using a voltmeter and an ammeter.
Determine You are expected to use a formula or method that you know to calculate a quantity;
e.g. determine graphically the resultant of two vectors.
Discuss You must write down points for and against an argument;
e.g. discuss the supply of energy with a nuclear power station.

Estimate Give an approximate value for a quantity based on reasons and data. You may need
to make some approximations; e.g. estimate the volume of a test tube.
Explain You must give reasons for your answer or refer to a particular theory.
List Write down a number of separate points. Where the number of points is stated in
the question, you should not write more than this number.
Measure You are expected to find a quantity by using a measuring instrument; e.g. length by
using a ruler, or angle by using a protractor.
Outline State the main points briefly e.g. outline a method of magnetising an iron bar
Predict This can be used in two ways:

EB
and drawing logical conclusions from this. You may need to use information

direction of the resultant force if ….
• It may also mean stating what might happen next e.g. predict what effect an
YY
increase in temperature will have on the resistance.
Sketch When drawing graphs, this means that you draw the approximate shape and/or
position of the graph. You need to make sure that important details, such as the line
TA
passing through the origin or finishing at a certain point, are drawn accurately.
When drawing apparatus or other diagrams, a simple line drawing is all that is
needed, but make sure that the proportions are correct and the most important
details are shown. Always label diagrams.
