OBJECTIVE 1
DEFINE - give the precise meaning of a word, phrase, concept or physical quantity
DRAW - represent by means of a labelled, accurate diagram or graph, using a pencil. A ruler (straight edge) should be used for straight lines. diagrams should be drawn to scale. Graphs should have points correctly plotted 9if appropriate) and joined in a straight line or smooth curve
LABEL - add label to a diagram
LIST - give a sequence of brief answers with no explanation
MEASURE - obtain a value for a quantity
STATE - give a specific name, value or other brief answer without explanation ore calculation
