each sets are different.2. Different set give different number of particles as seen under the
microscope (10x10)
* must stated the viewing power of the microscope (10X10)

No response or incorrect response or one idea only 01(b)(ii) Able to make two correct inferences base on three aspects:
y Number of solid particles as seen under microscope (10X10) isless/more
y Level of air pollution is lower / higher y Cleanest / dirtiest environment
Note: Inference must match with observation
Sample answers:
1. In set A, the number of solid particles as seen under themicroscope(10X10) is less because the level of air pollution is lower indicate that it was the cleanes environment.
2. In set D the number of solid particles as seen under microscope(10X10) is more than the number of solid particles as seen under microscope (10X10) in set A / set B / set set C because the level of air pollution is higher indicate that it was dirtiest environment.

y P1- Places where the glass slide is locatedy P2- Number of solid particles as seen under a microscope (10X10)y P3- Reasoning / Air pollutants (dust , smoke, soot)
Sample answers:1. In set A /air-conditioned room, the number of solid particles seen
under microscope (10X10) is lowest thus the existence of air pollutants (dust, soot,,smoke) also less and not polluted.
2. In set D/ school car park the number of solid particles as seen under a microscope (10X10) is highest this because of exhaust fumes emitlarge amounts of soot and particles as a result of combustion of fossil fuels.
3. In set B/ class room contain few numbers of solid particles as seenunder a microscope (10X10) because the doors and windows areclosed thus less dust and particles in the environment.
4. In set C/ school canteen the number of solid particles is higher compared to in set B/A because it was an open air area whichcontains more particulate matter.
Able to explain the relationship using any two criteria
Sample answer:1. In set A/ air-corndition/set D/School car park the number of solid
particles as seen under a microscope (10X10) is lowest / highest.
2
Able to explain the relationship using one criteria
Sample answer:1. Number of solid particles as seen under a microscope (10X10) is
depends on places.2. Different places affect the number of solid particles seen under a
microscope (10X10).

No response or incorrect response 01(g) Able to state the definition of air pollution operationally, complete and
correctly based on the following criteria:
D1 : Number of solid particles as seen under a microscope(10X10)D2 : Places where the glass slide is locatedD3 : Level of air pollution
Sample answers:That
1. Air pollution is an air sample with the presence of solid particles andthe level of air pollution is affected by the location where the glassslides are placed; the higher the number of the solid particles, thehigher the level of air pollution
