Practical assessmentApparatus listThis list below details the apparatus expected to be generally available for examination purposes. Thelist is not exhaustive: in particular, items that are commonly regarded as standard equipment in a physicslaboratory are not included. The apparatus listed should be available for each candidate:• ammeter FSD 1 A or 1.5 A• voltmeter FSD 1 V, 5 V• cells and holders to enable several cells to be joined• connecting leads and crocodile clips• d.c. power supply – variable to 12 V• metre rule• converging lens with a focal length f = 15 cm• low voltage filament bulbs in holders• a supply of masses and holder• newton meter• plastic or polystyrene cup• modelling clay (Plasticine)• various resistors, including a variable resistor (rheostat)• switch• thermometer, –10 °C to +110 °C at 1 °C graduations• wooden board• glass or perspex block, rectangular and semi-circular• measuring cylinder, 25 cm 3 , 100 cm 3• beaker, 250 cm 3• springs• stopwatch• ray box.7.3 Paper 6: Alternative to PracticalThis paper is designed to test candidates’ familiarity with laboratory practical procedures. The questionscontain many of the same elements as the questions on Paper 5. It is an alternative method of assessingcandidates’ understanding of experimental physics and therefore the best preparation for this paper is forcandidates to pursue a fully integrated course in which practical work is a normal and natural part of theteaching.Candidates may not use textbooks in the examination, nor any of their own records of laboratory workcarried out during their course38 Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625. Syllabus for examination in 2015.
