2 pts

Investigation Notebook

Includes all daily work. Final Revised Ideas response will be graded separately.
Scientist

All assigned questions on worksheets are complete. Drawings are clearly and accurately labeled. Evidence and resources are cited in written responses when appropriate. Clear connections between humans, pollutants, problems and solutions are drawn. Work demonstrates a deep understanding of how humans and the ocean are interconnected.
Lab Assistant

Most assigned questions on worksheets are complete. Drawings are often but not always clearly and accurately labeled. Evidence and resources are usually but not always cited in written responses when appropriate. Some clear connections between humans, pollutants, problems and solutions are drawn. Work demonstrates a sufficient understanding of how humans and the ocean are interconnected.
Test Tube

Many assigned questions on worksheets are not complete. Drawings are mostly unclear and often not labeled. Evidence and resources are usually not cited in written responses when appropriate. There is generally no clear connection between humans, pollutants, problems and solutions drawn in written work. Work demonstrates a shaky understanding of how humans and the ocean are interconnected.
Sustainable Grocery List Poster

A sustainable menu planning activity (Lesson: Investigating Fishing #7)
Scientist

Five or more items were used to build list. All items are sustainably harvested/ seasonally/regionally appropriate. List demonstrates that student made a solid real-world connection between themselves and sustainable eating practices.
Lab Assistant

At least four items were used to build list. Most but not all items are sustainably harvested/ seasonally/regionally appropriate. List demonstrates that student made a real-world connection between themselves and sustainable eating practices.
Test Tube

Fewer than four items were used to build list. Most items are not sustainably harvested/ seasonally/regionally appropriate. List demonstrates that student had difficulty making a real-world connection between themselves and sustainable eating practices.
Pollution Problem/Solution Poster

Poster demonstrating one of six pollution problems and a solution to that problem (Lesson: Communicating Problems and Solutions #12)
Scientist

Poster clearly names and illustrates one of six ocean pollution problems (fertilizer run-off, oil from roads, oil spill in ocean, trash, soap, overfishing). Poster clearly names and illustrates an appropriate, potentially effective solution to problem. Poster is neat and ready to post in classroom.
Lab Assistant

Poster clearly names and illustrates one of six ocean pollution problems (fertilizer run-off, oil from roads, oil spill in ocean, trash, soap, overfishing). Poster clearly names a solution that would likely not solve problem, and/or poster could use some editing or cleaning up before posting in classroom.
Test Tube

Poster does or does not name and illustrate one of six ocean pollution problems (fertilizer run-off, oil from roads, oil spill in ocean, trash, soap, overfishing). Poster does or does not clearly name and illustrate an appropriate, potentially effective solution to problem, and/or solution is irrelevant to the problem. Poster needs much editing/cleaning up before posting in classroom.
Revised Ideas Essay

End-of-unit revision of initial prompt: "In what ways are humans and the ocean interconnected?"
Scientist

Essay describes in detail two or more chains of events that can impact life in the ocean (e.g., fertilizers, soap, oil, or trash inland that can have an impact on life in the ocean; overfishing can impact other parts of the food web).
Lab Assistant

Essay describes in detail at least one single chain of events that can impact life in the ocean.
Test Tube

Essay describes some impacts of human activity on the ocean but they are not described as an interconnected chain of events.
