© 2026 Uganda National Examinations Board Turn Over UGANDA NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS BOARD Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education P510/2 PHYSICS SCORING GUIDE FOR THE SAMPLE PAPER Page 2 of 11 Item 1 In order to obtain the highest level of achievement, the candidate is expected to: i) Plan for experimentation:  Generate the Aim of the experiment/investigation. In the aim there should be: the nature of the experiment, relationship between variables to be manipulated and the purpose (generated from the scenario) for carrying out the experiment/investigation.  Identify all the variables under each category.  Generate hypothesis to guide the experiment/investigation. ii) Prepare Method of experimentation:  Draws correct/workable setup.  Writes relevant and coherent steps in the procedure, able to produce results.  Appropriate apparatus/materials should be correctly mentioned and used in the procedure.  Appropriate quantities of the independent variable should be mentioned/used in the procedure.  Identify sources of errors and their corresponding precautions taken. iii) Present data:  Records data in an organized format. e.g. a table.  Presents complete data sets. i.e. at least 5 sets of independent variable values and their corresponding dependent variable values.  Writes quantities with correct units (where units exist) and no units (when dealing with ratios).  Records dependent variable data that is accurate. i.e. with correct decimal places (read from the instrument), within acceptable ranges and having correct trend.  Manipulates and records data with correct significant figures and decimal places per column. iv) Analyse data:  Writes the title of the graph correctly and labels the drawn access correctly with quantities and units where applicable.  Uses uniform scales on each axis. Page 3 of 11  Marks and labels the starting value of each axis.  Plots at least 5 points correctly.  Draws the best line …
