Assessment rubric (cont) Skill Relevant content description(s) Relevant activities and worksheets Competent Developing at level Needs further development potable water is found and identifies how humans have ‘tapped into’ the cycle by drilling bores and building dams. The student can explore how human management of water impacts on the water cycle. See ACSSU116 Activity 5 Worksheet 4 The student constructs detailed flow charts that compare the processes involved in producing potable water by tap and bottle. Communication is concise and coherent using appropriate scientific language sourced from thorough research. The student constructs flow charts of the processes involved in producing potable water by tap and bottle. Communication is generally coherent using appropriate scientific language sourced from research. The student constructs partial flow charts using the teacher’s model as a guide. Communication is fragmented and uses everyday language. The student can analyse information and data from different sources about global and local water issues. Solutions to contemporary issues that are found using science and technology, may impact on other areas of society and may involve ethical considerations Activity 2 Worksheet 2 The student analyses information and data presented in a video and newspaper article in detail to complete all questions accurately.
