QWC *4(c) A description including some of the following points
Forms of energy • gravitational potential energy• kinetic energy• elastic potential energy• heat(thermal) and sound
Location of energy • gravitational potential energy of mass as it rises• kinetic energy of mass as it moves• Elastic potential energy stored in spring• Heat/sound dissipated to surroundings
Linked ideas • As the pendulum falls, gravitational potential energy
changes to kinetic energy.• the kinetic energy from the pendulum ends up as heat,
warming the surroundings.• the elastic potential energy in the clockspring becomes
kinetic energy of the pendulum to keep the pendulumswinging. (6)
Level 0 no rewardable material 1-11 • a limited description including the name of one form of energy that
is involved in the pendulum swing eg. the pendulum has kineticenergy.
• the answer communicates ideas using simple language and useslimited scientific terminology
• spelling, punctuation and grammar are used with limited accuracy22 3- • a simple description of the pendulum swing indicating where the
energy can be found OR a simple transfer eg. When the pendulumis moving it has kinetic energy / the pendulum is high at the side ofthe swing so it has gravitational potential energy / As thependulum swings it loses heat to the air / kinetic energy changes topotential energy / KE to PE.

• spelling, punctuation and grammar are used with some accuracy3 5 - 6 • a detailed description of an energy transfer indicating where the
energy can be found and where the transfer takes place eg. as thependulum swings to and fro, gravitational potential energy changesto kinetic energy / kinetic energy is dissipated as heat and sound tothe surroundings

QWC *1(c) A discussion to include some of the following points
Social factors / economic factors • people may not like it (NIMBY) / pressure groups• cost arguments
Environmental factors • spoiled view / risk of birdstrike• space for extra infrastructure eg. access roads / substations
Associated hazards • danger from higher voltage• dangers from construction work in mountainous area• danger to maintenance crew from working at greater height
Energy efficiency arguments • higher voltage leads to lower current• lower current means reduced heat losses• higher voltage means / lower current / can transmit energy
further• reduced heat loss means improved efficiency
Logical use of data • taller pylons can be seen from further away• net reduction in number of pylons / need to remove old ones• stronger materials needed for pylons / cables• need for new transformers
Appropriate calculations • 1000 - 600 = 400 fewer pylons (approx)• current reduced by a factor of 132/400 (0.33) (6)

Non- renewable sources • coal, oil, gas and nuclear• coal, oil, gas are fossil fuels• fossil fuels will run out• fossil fuels burn and produce CO2
• fossil fuels burn to produce atmospheric pollution• CO2 contributes to global warming• are a more expensive source• Nuclear power stations do not produce CO2
• Nuclear power produces radioactive waste• Radioactive waste is dangerous and difficult to store safely
Renewable resources • Wind, waves, solar, biofuels, geothermal and hydroelectric• are a free/cheaper source• The energy source is unreliable• No (net) CO2 produced• No atmospheric pollution (except biofuels)• Waves and hydroelectric cause environmental changes• Wind farms and solar panels give visual pollution• Wind farms can be built off shore
Comparison • Fossil fuel power stations are cheaper to build than wind
farms for the same power output• Coal, oil, gas and nuclear fuel will run out, wind, waves
and sun will always be available• Fossil fuel power stations produce CO2 which may increase
global warming, renewable energy generators (windfarms) do not
• Renewable energy generators have a free/cheaper sourceof fuel
• fossil fuels have to be taken out of the ground• Nuclear power stations produce radioactive waste, which
is dangerous, none of the other energy generators do this.• Wind, waves and sun are unreliable sources of energy but

• solar / heat / light• photosynthesis• chemical / fossil fuel• burning• thermal• in steam• kinetic• in turbine• electrical• in generator (6)
Level 0 no rewardable material
1 1-2 • a limited description which identifies an energy in an appropriate placee.g. thermal energy in the boilerOR e.g. the (same) energy flows from the boiler to the turbine
• the answer communicates ideas using simple language and uses limitedscientific terminology
• spelling, punctuation and grammar are used with limited accuracy2 3-4 • a simple description which includes details of a relevant energy transfer
e.g. (steam causing) the turbine to rotate turns the coil in the generatortransferring kinetic energy into electrical energy
• the answer communicates ideas showing some evidence of clarity andorganisation and uses scientific terminology appropriately
• spelling, punctuation and grammar are used with some accuracy
3 5 - 6 • a detailed description to includes details of a sequence of transfers e.g.chemical energy stored in the coal is transferred in the boiler to thermal energy producing steam. The steam turns the turbine which turns the coil.
• the answer communicates ideas clearly and coherently uses a range ofscientific terminology accurately
• spelling, punctuation and grammar are used with few errors
