Paper 3 SPM (4541 / 3)
1
Format of Paper 4541 / 3
► Time ; 1hr 30 minutes
► Marks ; 50 marks
► (i) Construct Tested;
Science Process Skills (16 aspects)

Task ; answer all 2 or 3 questions in 1hr 30 min
Level of Difficulty – L : M : H = 5:3:2
2
(1) Structured questions (45 minutes)
Making observation, inferencing, identifying and

controlling the variables, hypothesising,
classifying, making operational definition, reading
instruments / measurements, constructing table,
plotting graph, predicting, interpreting data.
3
(2) Extended Response Item (45
minutes)
► Stating aim / problem statement (always a

question !), hypothesis, listing the variables,
materials & apparatus, writing the

procedure, tabulation of data.
► (A diagram usually helps in this question though there is no specific
allocation of marks for diagram, because certain steps left out in the
procedure write-up may be able to be inferred from the diagram) )
4
(ii) Scoring for item :
3 marks – Excellent : The best response

2 marks – Satisfactory : An average response
1 mark – Weak : An inaccurate response
0 mark – No response or Wrong response
5
(B) Guide on Answering
► (i) Answering the Structured

Questions:
 Quite similar to the structured questions in
Section A of Chemistry Paper 2, but
emphasises on the process skills:
 Recall the topic / sub-topic and application of

the concepts and theories related to the
question;
6
► (ii)Answering the Extended
Response Item (Designing / Planning
of experiment)
 No need to give complete report ( as the PEKA

report) as this is only the planning stage.
 Procedure is preferably written in the active
form (although the passive form is also
accepted)
7
Normally the question requires :
(a) Problem Statement / Aim

(b) All the variables
(c) Hypothesis
(d) List of materials and apparatus
(e) Procedure
(f) Tabulation of data
8
(C) GUIDE TO MARKING PAPER
4541/3 :
1. Bilingual answer / Mixed language is

accepted. ( BM or BI only )
2. Grammatical errors are ignored.
3. Avoid use of American spelling system.
(e.g. color, oxidize)
4. Wrong spelling – often ignored unless for
technical terms e.g. alkane, covalent bonding,
chlorine atom…….
5. Avoid using abbreviation.
6. List of substances and apparatus.
9
7. Case when more than one answer is given.
e.g. a student gives 2 answers for hypothesis,
then the score awarded depends on the accuracy
of both answers
Hypothesis 1 Hypothesis 2 Score awarded

3 2 2
3 1 2
3 0 2
8
1 2 1
0 1 1
10
8. Making observation – In Paper 3, observation
is drawn from sight only ! (NOT from all 5 senses
like in Paper 2 !!)
e.g. reject ‘ beaker feels warm ’
accept ‘ temperature rises ‘
9. Graph sketching / plotting
Should show axes with arrowhead with correct
labels, correct units & correct shape (curve or
line)
10. Diagrams for the set-up of apparatus – not
required but encouraged
11
11. Constructing a table :
title of heading be based on the terms used in
question : (e.g. question use ‘Initial
temperature’ , students cannot change it to
‘starting / beginning temp’ )
12. Stating volume of a liquid and mass of a
solid
► the use of the words “amount” and “quantity”
is rejected.
(e.g. Constant Variable : amount of HCL is the
same – wrong ! Must say the volume &
concentration of HCL is the same.
Rate of reaction is the same because the quantity of
reactants used is the same – REJECT !! )
12
13. Accuracy in taking measurements
► Degree of accuracy depends on the type and
calibration of instrument used
► Able to give accuracy to at least one decimal
place is expected for score 3;
14. Calculations
► Formula should use commonly used symbols,
e.g. : H = mcǿ
► Correct units must be stated
► Steps must be shown clearly
13
(D) Some Terms Markers Use
a) “wrong cancel right” (wcr)

b) “benefit of doubt” (bod)
c) “error carried forward” (ecf)
d) “avoid double penalty” (adp)
e) Reject (r) and Accept (a)
14
(E) Popular topics in Paper 3 :
► questions are based on activities and

experiment;
 Applications of theories and concepts

rather than memorisation;
15
1. Determination of empirical formula of
metal oxide. (Q1 – 2004)
2. Change of state of matter : e.g. boiling
point / freezing point of naphthalene
(Q1 – 2005)
3. (a) Construction of reactivity series of
metals towards oxygen
(b) Reaction of Group 1 and Group 17 of
PTE. (Q2 – 2004,2008)
16
4. Electrochemistry
(a) Construction of ECS : Q2 – 2005
(b) Chemical cell / Factor affecting

voltage: Q2 – 2007
(c) Electrolysis cell / Application of

electrolysis ( extraction of reactive
metals, electroplating & purification of
metal factors ) and factors affecting
selective discharge of ions.
17
5. Comparing physical or chemical
properties of :
(i) an alloy-pure metal,

(Q3 – 2003, Q3a – 2005)
(ii) vulcanized rubber – natural rubber,
(Q2 – 2006)

physical properties.
18
6. Acids & Bases And Salts
(a) role of water in showing acidity &

alkalinity
(b) titration
(c) qualitative analysis of cations & anions
19
7. Preparation of
(a) soluble salts of potassium, sodium

and ammonium.
(b) other soluble salts.
(c) insoluble salts.
(d) continuous variation method

b) Effect of temperature; (Q1 – 2003)
c) Effect of total surface area:
d) Effect of catalyst:
21
9. Preparation & properties of esters
(esterification). (Q3 – 2004)
10. Redox
a) rusting : Q3a – 2003
b) Effect of another metal an rusting
c) Conversion of iron(II) and iron(III) ions,
redox cell
22
11. (a) Thermochemistry : Q1 – 2007
(b) Heats of reaction :

(i) precipitation
(ii) displacement
(iii) neutralisation – Q1 – 2006
(iv) combustion
23
12. (a) Preparation of soap
12.(b) Comparing effectiveness of

different detergents
24
Paper 3
► Allquestions are based on what the
students have studied in the syllabus
25
Decimal place …
► Burette 2 decimal places
 25.00 cm3 / 0.00 cm3
► Thermometer / stopwatch
 one decimal place
 25.0 oC / 3.5 s
26
Variables :
► State only one variable for controlled / fixed
variable
► If state more than one variables, one of the
answers is wrong, then the wrong will
cancel the right (wcr effect !)
27
Skills that will be evaluated in Paper
3 (Structure)
1. Observation
2. Classifying
3. Measuring and Using Numbers
4. Making inference
5. Communicating
6. Using Space and Time Relationship
7. Interpreting Data
8. Defining Operationally
9. Controlling Variables
10.Making hypothesis
11.Predicting
28
Plan / Design an experiment
► Problem statement (always a ? Statement)
► Hypothesis (can be a positive or negative
hypothesis)
► Identifying and controlling variables.
► Suitable apparatus and material
► Procedures
► Result (Tabulating data) – Don’t fill in any
data because u are planning an experiment
