Other Work Samples for:

Shannon has produced a report that demonstrates elementary knowledge and understanding of experimental design. A very limited level of competence in planning, conducting and reporting a controlled investigation is evident. The experimental report is of an elementary standard as it lacks a hypothesis and the graph shows a very limited level of competence in recording data. The aim of the investigation is unclear and Shannon has not identified the variables that need to be controlled to make the investigation a fair test. There is no evidence of the use of a control in the investigation. An attempt to provide a conclusion has been made but it has not been based on the data collected. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade E standard.

Grade E

The student has an elementary knowledge and understanding in few areas of the content and has achieved very limited competence in some of the processes and skills.
