real image can be projected onto a screen / is formed where the light rays are focussed /
ORA ;
virtual image is one from which the light rays appear to come from that image

any 1 for 1 mark:

move screen slowly to and fro until sharpest focus obtained ;
object / lens / screen perpendicular to bench ;
object and lens same height above the bench ;
carry out experiment away from other bright light sources / darkened room ;

suitable choice of scale (⩾ half the grid used) for x-axis ;

plots correct to half a small square, at least 4 correct ;

both answers to 3 significant figures

(expect YES) the values are (very) close / not (very)far apart / within 10% of each other / the
same;
(If values for f are incorrect and not close allow the reverse argument)

any one from:

use of darkened room / use a brighter lamp;
mark position of centre of lens in holder;
place metre rule on bench / clamp in position;
ensure the centre of lens and the object are the same height above bench / object and
screen vertical
repeat and average;
