Other Work Samples for:
Nicky has demonstrated a basic understanding of how to plan and conduct an investigation. A procedure has been provided but it is unclear. The recorded observations are limited and the ranking of each filter's capacity does not match the observations. The response would be strengthened by a detailed explanation of each filter's capacity. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade D standard at the end of Stage 3.
Grade D
The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the content and has achieved a limited level of competence in the processes and skills.Foundation Statement strands
The following strands are covered in this activity:
- Investigating Scientifically
Students independently develop questions for scientific investigation, conduct scientific investigations based on fair testing and collect, record and analyse the resulting data. They identify trends in data, evaluate findings and prepare possible explanations. Students use, select and evaluate equipment, computer-based technology and other resources to meet the requirements and constraints of investigations.
