See it on the paper →What is the volume of the object?
See it on the paper →Name the device which could accurately measure very small distances such as 0.20 mm.
See it on the paper →Most candidates correctly calculated the volume. Some candidates just added the three lengths together. The additional mathematical requirements should be covered in the study of mathematics at this level, but candidates will need practice utilising them in a science context and it may be necessary to reinforce what they have learnt elsewhere.

More able candidates chose the incorrect option D rather than the correct option C. Candidates are required to name and suggest appropriate apparatus for the measurement of volume, including burettes, pipettes and measuring cylinders.

Most methods of determining the volume of graphite involved displacement. Those requiring weighing needed to state that the mass and density were required for use in the formula V = m / d. Candidates did not gain credit for measuring linear dimensions.
