.         CANDIDATES WEAKNESSES AND SUGGESTED REMEDIES

           Candidates performance was affected by the following weaknesses
 
            -         Poor understanding of acceleration of free falling objects under gravity

  • Inability to interpret/make deductions from graph
  • Vague knowledge of concept of photo emission and other principles,    

          required for explanations, and calculations

  • Unable to state two phenomena that can be explained using kinetic theory 

          of gases

  • Poor computational skills
  • Inability to state pressure law
  • Inability to cite examples to illustrate effects of surface tension
  • Poor understanding of basic principles of physics which  resulted into wrong interpretation of real life issues.
  • Poor language expression
  • Failure to convert units appropriately e.g. g to kg
  • Inability to differentiate between concentration and concentration gradient 

          as one of the factors that affect the rate of diffusion.
           
           The following remedies were suggested to overcome the weaknesses:
         

  •  Adequate preparation and concerted effort by the candidates put into grasping and understanding of basic principles of physics and how to apply them;
  • Teachers to use instructional materials to make the subject real;
  • Teachers to endeavour to cover the syllabus in good time;
  • Teachers to prepare several mock questions for the candidates to practice;
  • Qualified and experienced physics teachers should be engaged to teach the subject.
