III SOME REMARKS
These a
are some points which may be asked in questions about experiments.
1. The concept of CONTROL
A CONTROL or CONTROL EXPERI-
MENT is an experiment with its set-up similar to that of the
test experiment except that
all conditions are kept normal.
It is used as a standard of
comparison for results of the test experiment.
Examples:
a.hy is a control essential
in this experiment? (73нKCEE):
b.How would you prepare a con-
trol for this experiment? (72HKCEE).
2 The CHOICE OF MATERIALS
Both the quantity and quality of the experimental materials should be noticed." Examples:
a What would be the advantages:
or disadvantages of using two or one hundred bean seeds in each set? (73HKCEE) : b.What complication would occur
in this experiment if the germinating seeds had begun to show green leaves?(72HKCEE). c.Explain why fruit-fly is a good choice of material in studying genetics?
3 The SET-UP
The purpose and the correct- né sa of the
up may be asked mental set-
Examples:
a.Why the wire gauze place in
a slanting position?(76HKCEE). b.What is the hypothesis that
this experimental set-up is endeavouring to verify? (721KCEE)
C.The apparatus was not set
up properly. Suggest, with reason's, two corrections you would wake to improve the experiment? (76HKUEE) 4 Describe and explain the
CHANGE OF the RESULT
Describe and explain step by step. Give complete answer. Do not write things. that are not needed.
Questions may be asked in this way.
What colour change of the solution would you expect. to see in test tube C. ? Give reasons for the change.
(75HKCEE) - P.
b. What would be the difference
in the development of the fruits above and below the ning after several days? Explain why there is such a difference: (76HKCEE).
5 To draw CONCLUSIONS
Draw conclusions directly from the experiment. Do no write things that cannot be drawn from it although they are true.

River capture had taken place in that area.
Before capture occurred, there were two main streams. flowing in the area, they ran parallel to each other, from NE to SW. One of them (stream S), with a tributary flowing. NW - SE (St), discharged into the sea near Sham Tseng, ether (T), flew slowly and discharged into the sea near Tsing Lung Tan (Fig. 1).
The
As shown by map 'evidence, stream St is a more powerful river because of its steeper gradient, more serione head- ward erssion took place at ita source, and in this way, St extends headvards, It came nearer and megrer to Stream T. Finally, 16 broke through the watershed and the two streams. met together. River
capture did take place. Due to the the steeper gradient of st, upper water of stream T was diverted into the valley of St.
Since the upper water of
T had been diverted to 5t, its -lower-course now has little- water. It becañas small for the existing valley and is therefore known as a misfit stream. There is a sharp bend. where a trean T is captured and is known as the elbow of cap- ture.
e. Beside the elbow of cpature, there is a wind gap or a dry valley (Fig. 11). RIVER CAPTURE NEAR TAI LAM CHUNG

PROBLEMS DERIVED FROM OVER- POPULATION
Low living standard and wal sutrition
The mentioned country has a tremendous population of about 40 millions. It has a high birth rate of 47/1000. The natural increase rate is about 32/1000, qui te a high rate in population growth, We can see that this country has more people than the resourses can support at his
t only 1/5 of the tal area is used for cultivation, Obviously, the agricultural lands, which have been inten- sively cultivated for years, decressed in their yields.

tion.
Low productivity
The farming methods which engaged in this country are so sutdated that there almost 1/5 of the total area is me fallowed er abandoned. Since toe much land is useless (including 40% of the stal area is woodland and 20% is uban- doned land), the production from both the primary and secondary economic activities canxet catch up with the growing size of population.
Lack of capital
The development of in- dustry is quite slow. It has only 5% of total werking pop- ulation engaged in industry with merely 1% of the total area used as industrial land. The under-development of the secondary porduction in- plies that the national income of this country is mest probably net high enough to support its large population. It has no surplus of colome- ditites for export. It can hardly reach capital Tation. ithout enough capital, it canmet require a higher level of economic development. Diversification of its economy is impossible for lacking of cupital.
Unemployment
10% of the total werking populatisa is enemployed. The burden of the country is heavier in case te support this unemployed werkers. Lack of Bacial welfare services
The medical services in this country are as matter⠀ underdeveloped for the death rate is about 15/1000, qui to -high, în comparison with those
advanced countries. Young people lack sound education. Most people live in simple, unhygienic conditions,
SOLUTIONS
Develop sparsely populated areas (migration}
Out-migration te sparsely populated areas should be encouraged, in order to re- lease the burden of those densely populated countries,
Internal-migration can
The. alas be encouraged. country which has large area can urge its people to Beve to the potentially rich marginal districts.
2. Land Reform
Land should be redistri- buted into larger and more economic units in order to euble mechanization and implementation of irrigation. schemes and water conservation. Diversification of agri culture should also be encouraged ss that soil fertility can be. conserved and productivity raised.
3. Increase of agricultural
products
A higher yield in agri- culture is possible by
a) wider application of chen- ical fertilizers to improve. soil fertility..
b) introduction of better seeds, new strains or new breeds of animal.
c) Opening up or reclaiming more arable land by terracing of the mountain sides or
· making use of the marginal. land to create new fields.
d) Implementation of water. conservation, drainage and irrigation schemes,
e) Educating the farmers. the basic knowledge of soil science and plants.
f} Increased use of insecti– cides and other agenta to control the pests and diseases.
4. Increase of marine products
Marine products cam be increased by better fishing methods. Fish breeding in local lakes, ponds and rivers alse supply additional food for people..
5. Reduction
rate of repu-
lation increase
Encourage the young late marriage and introduce family planning to the married couple in order to reduce the family members. These can give the children better opportunity to receive sound education. The practice of birth control may also provide more leisure time and money for the married couple.
6. Foreigh aids-
If the overpopulated area! can receive aids from rich advanced countries, ita econozy can be promoted in a greater stride.
7. Industrialization
The overpopulated cou) – tries should employ new/ industrial methods to produce
core manufactured praducta. for experts which will obtain more money to buy food for feeding their people. After industrialization, capital will easily accumulated and help indirectly further pre- duction.
