Score
Description
Sample Activity
4.0
In addition to Score 3.0, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications regarding more complex material that go beyond end of instruction expectations.
3.5
In addition to Score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications regarding the more complex content with partial success.
3.0
The student:
is able to use proper tool to measure accurately.
labels measurements with the correct unit.
performs simple one step metric conversions (i.e., meters to kilometers).
The student exhibits no major errors or omissions.
Sample: Using the correct units according to size of object
2.5
The student demonstrates no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) and partial knowledge of the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
2.0
There are no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes as the student:
selects proper tool for gathering data
identifies appropriate units for measurement (Mass, Length, Volume)
However, the student exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and processes.
Sample: ruler, beaker, visual observations, tables, etc.
1.5
The student demonstrates partial knowledge of the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) but exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and procedures (Score 3.0 content).
1.0
With help, the student demonstrates a partial understanding of some of the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) and some of the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
0.5
With help, the student demonstrates a partial understanding of some of the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) but not the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
