Often it can be answered with a single word, phrase or sentence.  \nPlan  \nWrite a method.  \nPlot  \nMark on a graph using data given.  \nPredict  \nGive a plausible outcome.  \nShow  \nProvide structured evidence to reach a conclusion.  \nSketch  \nDraw approximately.  \nSuggest  \nThis term is used in questions where students need to apply their knowledge and understanding toa new situation.  \nUse  \nThe answer must be based on the information given in the question. Unless the information given in the question is used, no marks can be given. In some cases students might be asked to use their own knowledge and understanding.  \nWrite  \nOnly a short answer is required, not an explanation or a description.  \nExample knowledge in isolation questions  \nBelow are some examples of knowledge in isolation questions from GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy papers. Each question is accompanied by the area of specification that it assesses. For each one, you can see that the answer is simple recall of information directly from the subject content.  \nBiology examples  \nCombined Science Trilogy Paper 1H, June 2019  \nSpecification reference  \nSpecification reference  \nChemistry examples  \nCombined Science Chemistry Paper 1F, June 2019  \nSpecification reference  \nSpecification reference","cbCaiqX5EcKTQIYD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqX5EcKTQIYD","pdf",5069021,"English","# Contents\n## Assessment Objectives\n## AO1 definitions\n## GCSE sciences command words\n## Example knowledge in isolation questions\n## Resources","[{\"question\":\"What does AO1 mean in this GCSE Science resource?\",\"answer\":\"AO1 definitions are provided under the Assessment Objectives section, sourced from GCSE Subject Level Guidance for Combined Science.\"},{\"question\":\"How are GCSE science command words explained?\",\"answer\":\"Each command word is defined and paired with an example of what students should do in an exam response, such as “Calculate” using given numbers or “Evaluate” using evidence and understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"What are “example knowledge in isolation questions” used for?\",\"answer\":\"They show sample question formats where answers rely on simple recall from subject content, with examples for biology and chemistry tied to specification references.\"}]","GCSE Science - Resources - Spring 2022 | PDF",1792468608,101]
