Answer guide · AC9S1I03
- No. The units have different lengths.
- An observation, because it describes what was seen.
- Accept observable features such as colour, number of spots, edge shape or holes.
- Accept a labelled measurement using equal units placed end-to-end; describe any leftover part.
If help is needed: ‘It went far’ is hard to compare with another result. A recorded distance with the same unit gives clearer evidence.
