iRubric: Bio 12 Macromolecule Presentations rubric

Underdeveloped curiosity about chosen macromolecule. Connection to homeostasis not seen. Use of scientific concepts/language not apparent. Absence of connections between research and treatment plan seen.

Minimal curiosity about chosen macromolecule related to the organ systems/homeostasis seen. Knowledge of scientific concepts not fully developed. Some connection between homeostasis and inquiry present. Research needs work.

Demonstrate a sustained intellectual curiosity about a chosen macromolecule related to the organ systems/homeostasis. Use knowledge of scientific concepts to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence.

Demonstrate an awareness of assumptions, question information given, and identify bias in secondary sources. Well developed demonstration of a sustained intellectual curiosity about topic in relation to homeostasis. Use knowledge of scientific concepts to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence. Exercise a healthy, informed skepticism and use scientific knowledge and findings to evaluate claims in sources. Contribute to finding solutions at a local or global level through inquiry.

Underdeveloped understanding of chosen macromolecule topic. Little to no communication of scientific ideas. Evidence based arguments need further development.

Partially developed understanding of chosen macromolecule. Somewhat communicates scientific ideas and/or information. Lacking evidence-based arguments. May use scientific language, conventions, and representations sporadically. Minimally meets expectations.

Well developed understanding of chosen macromolecule. A direct connection to homeostasis. Communicates scientific ideas, information, and a suggested course of action, for a specific purpose and audience, constructing evidence-based arguments and using appropriate scientific language, conventions, and representations.

In depth and very well developed understanding of macromolecule. Very clear connection to homeostasis. Eloquently communicates scientific ideas, information and a well developed course of action for a specific purpose and audience. Effectively constructs evidence-based, well rounded arguments that support informed opinion. Excellent use of appropriate language, conventions, and representations. Exceeds expectations.
