Definitions
Highly Proficient
Thoroughly explains the difference between observation and inference as stated in the "Proficient" box, and, in addition, uses technical language (i.e.
Proficient
Accurately defines observation as something that is detected by one or more of the senses or by sense enhancing technology; and inference as a guess that goes beyond the observations but is based on them.
Nearly Proficient
Accurately defines either inference or observation, or partially define both.
Not Yet Proficeint
Inaccurately defines observation and inference.
Observation
Highly Proficient
Identifies two or more observations related to the situation that can not be mistaken for something else; identifies detailed characteristics that provide relevant support to the inference.
Proficient
Identifies three observations related to the situation that can not be mistaken for something else and are relevant to the inference
Nearly Proficient
Identifies two observations related to the situation that can not be mistaken for something else, but one that can; or are not relevant to the inference.
Not Yet Proficeint
Identifies one observation related to the situation that can not be mistaken for something else, but two that can; or is not relevant to the inference.
Inference
Highly Proficient
Gives very detailed guesses and assumptions relevant to the observations that reveal the most likely explanation.
Proficient
Makes guesses and assumptions relevant to the observations that reveal a possible explanation.
Nearly Proficient
Makes guesses and assumptions somwhat relevant to the observations that reveal a possibly explanation, but contains little detail.
Not Yet Proficeint
Makes guesses and assumptions not relevant to the observations, or that reveal an unlikely explanation, and lacks detail.
Support
Highly Proficient
Each observation is detailed enough to enhance our understanding of the inference. The entirety of the inference is supported by the observations.
Proficient
Each observation supports the inference. The inference is supported by the observations.
Nearly Proficient
Two observations support the inference. The inference is supported by only two of the observations.
Not Yet Proficeint
One observation supports the inference.
