Below Standard
Experimental Design
The design shows that the student does not understand the scientific process and has not controlled obvious variables. Significant guidance from the teacher was required. 0..17 The student was unable to state a prediction and a hypothesis based on available evidence and background information. 0..17 The student is unable to carry out procedures controlling the major variables and adapting or extending procedures where required. 0..17 The student is unable to compile and organize data, using appropriate formats and data treatments to facilitate interpretation of the data. 0..17 The student is unable to interpret patterns and trends in data, and infer or calculate linear and non linear relationships among variables. 0..17 The student is unable to identify and explain sources of error and uncertainty in measurement, and express results in a form that acknowledges the degree of uncertainty. 0..17 The student is unable to provide a statement that addresses or answers the question investigated in the light of the link between data and the conclusion. 0..17 The student is unable to work co-operatively with team members to develop and carry out a plan, and troubleshoot problems as they arise. 0..17

At Standard
Design shows that the student understands the scientific process and has controlled obvious variables. Some guidance from the teacher was required. 1835 The student was able to state a prediction and a hypothesis based on available evidence and background information. 1835 The student is able to carry out procedures controlling the major variables and adapting or extending procedures where required. 1835 The student is able to compile and organize data, using appropriate formats and data treatments to facilitate interpretation of the data. 1835 The student is able to interpret patterns and trends in data, and infer or calculate linear and non linear relationships among variables. 1835 The student is able to identify and explain sources of error and uncertainty in measurement, and express results in a form that acknowledges the degree of uncertainty. 1835 The student is able to provide a statement that addresses or answers the question investigated in the light of the link between data and the conclusion. 1835 The student is able to work co-operatively with team members to develop and carry out a plan, and troubleshoot problems as they arise. 1835

Above Standard
The design shows that the student has thoroughly analyzed the problem and has independently designed and conducted the experiment.

3650 The student was able to state a prediction and a hypothesis based on available evidence and background information and provided a logical reflection as to how the hypothesis was constructed. 3650 The student is able to carry out complex procedures controlling from moth major and minor variables. The student can extend and modify procedures where required with ease. 3650 The student is able to compile and organize data, using advanced formats and data treatments to facilitate interpretation of the data. 3650 The student is able to interpret patterns and trends in data, and infer or calculate linear and non linear relationships among variables. The student demonstrates some concept of statistical significance. 3650 The student is unable to identify and explain sources of error and uncertainty in measurement, and express results in a form that acknowledges the degree of uncertainty. The student proposes ways that these errors may be controlled 3650 The student is able to provide a statement that addresses or answers the question investigated in the light of the link between data and the conclusion. The conclusion demonstrates the students ability to reflect logically and scientifically. 3650 The student is able to work co-operatively with team members to develop and carry out a plan. The student positively contributes to the group dynamic, and can innovatively troubleshoot problems as they arise. 3650
