Formulate Questions and Hypothesis

Poor

Is not able to formulate a
testable hypothesis that
addresses the proposed problem.
Fair

Formulates a hypothesis that
may not address the problem;
supported by opinions and 
misconceptions.
Good

Formulates a coherent testable
hypothesis that potentially 
addresses the problem; partially 
supported by prior scientific knowledge.
Excellent

Formulates a coherent and testable
hypothesis that potentially 
addresses the question;
completely supported by prior 
scientific knowledge.
Design & Conduct AquInvestigation

Poor

Designs and conducts a
scientific investigation 
unrelated to the hypothesis;
steps are not logical, not
sequential, and/or are vague;
variables and constants are
missing; no repeated trials.
Fair

Relationship between the
hypothesis and the scientific
investigation lack clarity;
steps are missing and/or 
difficult to follow; variables
and/or constants are not properly 
identified and/or mismanaged 
and detract from results; insufficient trials to test
hypothesis.
Good

Designs and conducts a
scientific investigation related 
directly to the hypothesis; steps
contain minor inaccuracies in 
logic and/or sequence; minor 
inaccuracies in identifying and 
managing variables and 
constants do not significantly 
affect overall results; evidence
of repeated trials.
Excellent

Designs and conducts a
scientific investigation related 
directly to the hypothesis; steps
are logical and sequential;
variables and constants are
identified and managed 
objectively; trials are repeated and
sufficient to validate results.
Techniques and Data Collection

Poor

Selects inappropriate
equipment and techniques;
does not employ safety when 
using lab equipment,
ineffective use of aquaponics system;
significant errors or gaps in 
collected data.
Fair

Incorrectly uses equipment and 
techniques; some unsafe
practices are evident;
ineffective use of aquaponics system;
errors present in collected data.
Good

Selects and safely uses lab 
equipment; generally 
chooses/uses appropriate
technology; minor inaccuracies
and some subjectivity in data
collection; some
inconsistencies present in 
recording data.
Excellent

Selects and safely uses lab 
equipment; effectively 
chooses/uses appropriate
technology and mathematical
concepts; data is collected and 
recorded 
in a systematic, accurate, and 
objective manner.
Model, Revise, Explain Results

Poor

Explanations and/or models are not
based on analysis of data or 
accurate science concepts; data which 
refutes the hypothesis is
discounted; connections are not
present between results and 
hypothesis; no evidence of 
possible revision and 
alternative explanations.
Fair

Explanations and/or models are based 
on flawed analysis of data and 
misconceptions of science concepts;
formulates limited revisions.
Good

Explanations and/or models partially 
reflect evidence from
investigation and are based on 
accurate science; uses results to 
verify or refute the hypothesis;
formulates possible revisions.
Excellent

Explanations and/or models reflect
evidence from investigation 
and are based on accurate
science concepts; uses results to verify 
or refute hypothesis;
formulates possible revisions
and alternative explanations.
