Description Questions 1 and 2 Identifies, in detail, the relationship between variables. Explains what will stay the same. 4-5 Specifies how variables will be changed and measured. Identifies simple relationships between variables. Identifies the variable to be changed. 2-3 Identifies what will be measured. Follows a procedure to develop a question that may or may not correctly identify a variable. 0-1 With guidance, identifies variable to measure. Subtotal 5 Description Marks Question 3 Describes safety risks and suggests ways to improve procedures to minimise 3 risk. Describes safety risks. 2 1 some safety risks. Subtotal 3 Description Marks Questions 4, 5 and 6 Draws an electrical circuit that is clearly labelled and correct. Proposes a plausible method of recording and relevant information 6 (attempts to use units of measure). Makes a valid prediction about electrical circuits based on scientific knowledge. a mostly correct diagram that represents an electrical circuit. Proposes a simple way of recording information that does specify correct units of measure to be used. 4 Communicates ideas in the prediction that demonstrate some understanding of electrical energy. Draws a simple diagram. Uses a simple to collect data (units may not be correct). 2 Communicates a simple prediction about energy in an electrical circuit. Subtotal 6 Total 14
