SUGGESTED ANSWERING TECHNIQUES1.INSTRUCTIONS1.1 Teachers should explain the suggested techniques on how to
answer questions to the pupils.1.2 Ensure that pupils can identify the Master Keys which are the
manipulated variables or what to change (MV / wtc) and theresponding variables or what to observe (RV / wto). Clarify aboutthe fixed variables or what to keep the same (RV) too.
1.3 Pupils should be exposed to the method of identifying parametersand patterns of (MV / wtc) and (RV / wto)
1.4 Enable pupils to write (MV / wtc) and (RV / wto) in the master key
diagram found in the questions.1.5 Teachers can use the time frame suggested in the module table.1.6 Discuss the answers and correct the mistakes. The result can be
filled in the assessment form.
