Level Descriptors 0
Has not reached standard of any descriptors below. Attempts to communicate information, specific to the unit, using some scientific language. Parts of the information, specific to the unit, presented appropriately. An inaccurate attempt was made to acknowledge sources of information. I have completed notes for a few of the body systems The notes are sometimes in my own words I have an 1 - 2 pages of hand-written notes for a few of my body systems My notes are sometimes complete and easily understood I have sometimes answered each area of focus: definition, function, parts I have listed a few of my resources used for every body system My notes are sometimes neat, legible and easy to follow I have completed notes for most of the body systems The notes are mostly in my own words I have 1 - 2 pages of hand-written notes for most of my body systems My notes are mostly complete and easily understood I have mostly answered each area of focus: definition, function, parts I have listed most of my resources used for every body system My notes are mostly neat, legible and easy to follow I have completed notes for all 7 body systems The notes are consistently in my own words I have 2 or more pages of hand-written notes for each (7) of my body systems My notes are complete and easily understood I have fully answered each area of focus: definition, function, parts I have listed all my resources used for every body system My notes are consistently neat, legible and easy to follow

Indicators

Identifies some ideas and concepts and applies these to unravel simple problems.

1-2

I have little appropriate information in each section of my notes The information I have in each section is sometimes relevant, accurate and appropriate I have identified and defined very few key terms relevant to each body system My notes show that I have a thorough and accurate understanding of some of the body systems I have some appropriate information in each section of my notes The information I have in each section is mostly relevant, accurate and appropriate I have identified and defined some key terms relevant to each body system My notes show that I have a thorough and accurate understanding of most of the body systems

Criterion C: knowledge and understanding of science

Define ideas and concepts and applies understanding to solve problems in familiar situations. Summarize information by identifying parts, relationships or causes. Provides an explanation that shows some level understanding. Attempts, with guidance, to explain ideas and concepts and apply understanding to decipher problems in familiar and unfamiliar situations. Identifies relevant information by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work.

3-4

5-6

I have appropriate information in each section of my notes The information I have in each section is always relevant, accurate and appropriate I have identified and defined several key terms relevant to each body system My notes consistently show that I have a thorough and accurate understanding of all the body systems
