1 A group of students carried out an experiment to determine the percentage of vitamin C in
fruit
juices
using DCPIP solution
The students carried out the following steps:
l
Step 1: 1 ml DCPIP solution was placed in a test tube.
Step 2: A few drops of ascorbic acid O.lVo was added to the DCPIP solution until there was
a colour change.
Figure 1(a) shows the method used in the experiment.

A biologist did a study on a type of bird species in a fruit orchard.. It is found that these birds
feed on insect pests. This is useful to the farmers because these birds can help control the
population of insect pests. With the assumption that these birds can be captured easily or can
be represented by small objects, design an experiment that can be carried out in the field or
in a laboratory to estimate the size of the bird population.
Your field work or experimental planning need to include the following aspects:
