Question 1

A model-generated teaching dataset gives six descent times at 5 cm wing length: 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 s. Calculate their combined mean and range and identify the source type.

Question 2

Draft a transparent note for a failed timing trial in your own approved practical.

Question 3

Explain why this pilot alone is not a complete course program.

Teacher answer key — 3 questions

Model responses identify the essential ideas. Accept scientifically correct alternatives that address the question; wording need not match exactly.

  1. Mean 1.7 s; range 0.4 s; synthetic modelled teaching data, not class empirical observations.
  2. Record trial/model ID, original/missing reading and failure event, apply the predefined rule and note any repeat. Do not silently replace or erase it.
  3. It covers a Module 1 learning pilot only; other modules, school assessment, practical hours and depth studies require the school’s full program and supervision.
