Planning and Carrying Out Investigations G 3-5

Planning and Carrying Out Investigations G K-2

Planning and carrying out investigations to answer questions or test solutions to problems in 3–5 builds on K–2 experiences and progresses to include investigations that control variables and provide evidence to support explanations or design solutions.

Planning & Doing Investigations
	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts
Planning Experiments	Poor Can plan and conduct an investigation. Can use evidence to answer a question.	Fair ? Plan and conduct an investigation in collaboration with peers. ? Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence to answer a question.	Good Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered.
Evaluation of Investigation	Poor Can observe and measure a phenomena to determine an answer to a question.	Fair Evaluate different ways of observing and/or measuring a phenomenon to determine which way can answer a question.	Good Evaluate appropriate methods and/or tools for collecting data. ? Evaluate different ways of observing and/or measuring a phenomenon to determine which way can answer a question.
Observations and Measurements	Poor Make observations and/or measurements to collect data. Make predictions based on prior experiences.	Fair ? Make observations and/or measurements to collect data that can be used to make comparisons. ? Make observations and/or measurements of a proposed object or tool or solution to determine if it solves a problem or meets a goal. ? Make predictions based on prior experiences	Good Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.  Make predictions about what would happen if a variable changes.  Test two different models of the same proposed object, tool, or process to determine which better meets criteria for success.
