Chemistry & Technology · Part 1 of 4
6 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 8 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 2 pages of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.
Explain why "research results alone are not enough" for this report, and describe what it must contain in addition to accurate research.
A student writes: "Nylon is a polymer made by condensation polymerisation. It is strong and does not absorb much water. It is used in ropes, clothing and fishing nets." Explain why this paragraph explains nothing, and rewrite it so that it does.
Explain the difference between explaining a link and evaluating an influence, and justify why the second is harder, using an example.
List four features that make a technology a good choice for a chemistry research report, and explain why each matters.
Explain how tracing the historical development of a technology helps a student find the links between its chemistry and its development, and illustrate with an example.
Evaluate the claim that "the more advanced the technology, the better the topic choice for a chemistry research report". Justify your position.
