Observation and Inference
	Highly Proficient 4 pts	Proficient 3 pts	Nearly Proficient 2 pts	Not Yet Proficeint 1 pts
Observation	Highly Proficient Three 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.
Prediction	Highly Proficient The prediction is detailed enough to enhance our understanding of the inference. The entirety of the inference is supported by the observations.	Proficient The prediction is supported by the inference. The inference is supported by the observations.	Nearly Proficient The prediction is relevant but not supported by the observations and inferences.	Not Yet Proficeint The prediction is irrelevant and not supported by any evidence.
