Mission: Native vs. Invasive Shrub Phenology Rubric Level 1 (Beginning) Level 2 (Developing) Level 3 (Meets) Level 4 (Exceeds) I can… I can do all of level 1 and… I can do all of level 2 and… I can do all of level 3 and… Practice 3: Planning and Conducting Investigations Describe an investigation that addresses my research question. Describe the data used to address my research question, the materials needed, and a procedure that is clear and detailed enough to be replicated. Describe how to record the data, including specific measurements and observations to be collected. Describe the thinking that went into gathering reliable data, including collecting data from multiple sites or multiple times, controlling variables, or random sampling. Practice 4: Analyzing and Interpreting Data Record the data that I collected following the mission protocol. Create visual representation that makes my data understandable, like a graph, table, or other figure that is scaled, labeled, and accurate. Choose an appropriate graph, table, or figure that organizes the results in a way that helps address the research question. I can explain the information in that graph, table, or figure. Identify aspects of the data that help to understand the data, which could include the range, mean, median, mode, the spread of the data, any interesting points or groups of data, or outliers in the data. Practice 7: Engaging in Argument from Evidence Use the information that I gathered to make a clear claim about my research question. Support my claim with evidence from the data and explain why I think the data supports my claim. I can connect my findings to the background research that I conducted and explain the significance of my claim. Explain how confident I am in my claim, considering factors that that might have impacted my data, possible sources or error, natural variability in the data, and/or the amount of data collected. Explain how I ruled out other possible claims. I can pose additional questions for future study to help me investigate further. Practice 8: Obtaining, Evaluating and Communicating information Gather background information on my topic. Locate reliable information from multiple sources that connects to my research question and cite my sources accurately. Use my research to explain how my question builds on or contributes to existing scientific knowledge and to form a prediction about my results. Explain the importance of my research to me, my local community, or to the larger scientific community.
