Investigating in Science
Exploring a situation
Trent makes increasingly focused and detailed observations relevant to identified scientific patterns and relationships.
Processing and interpreting
He reaches relevant conclusions about the effect of viewing colours through coloured filters and discusses how they relate to scientific ideas.
Reporting
Trent presents a well-organised report supported by relevant data to explain how the glasses work, but he neglects to explain how the message is received (L 4). |
Developing and Communicating Scientific Understanding
Using scientific ideas in constructing explanations
Trent constructs a well-reasoned and coherent explanation for an experience using significant and appropriate ideas. He connects the key ideas and uses appropriate aids to help communicate them. He does so using an analogy: "like a window".
Using scientific vocabulary
Trent uses a range of scientific terms appropriately, with reference to abstract ideas, for example, "filtering", "transmitting", "spectrum", and "reflected". |
