IGCSE Environmental Management

About IGCSE Environmental Management Past Papers:

The paper code is 0680.
All candidates take two papers. Candidates will be eligible for grades A* to G.
There are in all two papers for this subject.
Paper 1 is a 1 hour 45 minutes paper, which is the theory with a weightage of 50% . The total marks for this paper are 80 . This paper consists of 2 sections. Section A has short and structured questions of 20 marks The section B consists of short-answer and extended response questions based on a source material . this is a 60 marks paper that is externally assessed.
Paper 2 is a 1 hour 45 minutes with a weightage of 50% and it is an 80 marks paper. Short, and extended response questions based on source material have to be answered. This paper is also externally assessed.This paper consists of short-answer, data processing and analysis, and extended response questions based on source material. Candidates will be expected to make use of information from the source material to help illustrate issues of environmental management.
Calculators may be used in all parts of the examination

IGCSE Environmental Management Syllabus :

The syllabus is divided into nine topics which have been designed to develop an understanding of both the natural and the human environment.The topics are as follows:

1 Rocks and minerals and their exploitation
2 Energy and the environment
3 Agriculture and the environment
4 Water and its management
5 Oceans and fisheries
6 Managing natural hazards
7 The atmosphere and human activities
8 Human population
9 Natural ecosystems and human activities.

Glossary of terms in IGCSE Environmental Management

Define (the term(s)…) is intended literally, only a formal statement or equivalent paraphrase being required.
What do you understand by/What is meant by (the term(s)…) normally implies that a definition should be given, together with some relevant comment on the significance or context of the term(s) concerned, especially where two or more terms are included in the question. The amount of supplementary comment intended should be interpreted in the light of the indicated mark value.
State implies a concise answer with little or no supporting argument (e.g. a numerical answer that can readily be obtained ‘by inspection’).
List requires a number of points, generally each of one word, with no elaboration. Where a given number of points is specified this should not be exceeded.
(a) Explain may imply reasoning or some reference to theory, depending on the context. It is another way of asking candidates to give reasons. The candidate needs to leave the examiner in no doubt why something happens. (b) Give a reason/Give reasons is another way of asking candidates to explain why something happens.
Describe requires the candidate to state in words (using diagrams where appropriate) the main points. Describe and explain may be coupled, as may state and explain.
Discuss requires the candidate to give a critical account of the points involved.
Outline implies brevity (i.e. restricting the answer to giving essentials).
Predict implies that the candidate is expected to make a prediction not by recall but by making a logical connection between other pieces of information.
Deduce implies that the candidate is not expected to produce the required answer by recall but by making a logical connection between other pieces of information.
Suggest is used in two main contexts, i.e. either to imply that there is no unique answer (e.g. in chemistry, two or more substances may satisfy the given conditions describing an ‘unknown’), or to imply that candidates are expected to apply their general knowledge of the subject to a ‘novel’ situation, one that may be formally ‘not in the syllabus’ – many data response and problem solving questions are of this type.
Find is a general term that may variously be interpreted as calculate, measure, determine, etc.
Calculate is used when a numerical answer is required. In general, working should be shown, especially where two or more steps are involved.
Measure implies that the quantity concerned can be directly obtained from a suitable measuring instrument (e.g. length using a rule, or mass using a balance).
Determine often implies that the quantity concerned cannot be measured directly but is obtained from a graph or by calculation.
Estimate implies a reasoned order of magnitude statement or calculation of the quantity concerned, making such simplifying assumptions as may be necessary about points of principle and about the values of quantities not otherwise included in the question.
Sketch, when applied to graph work, implies that the shape and/or position of the curve need only be qualitatively correct, but candidates should be aware that, depending on the context, some quantitative aspects may be looked for (e.g. passing through the origin, having an intercept). In diagrams, sketch implies that simple, freehand drawing is acceptable; nevertheless, care should be taken over proportions and the clear exposition of important details.
