The responses include complete records of observations that
are detailed, reasonable, and accurate. Although minor misconceptions
might be present, the written and graphic representation are
coherent and consistent. |

entries might be incomplete, inaccurate, or lack detail. Misconceptions
might be present and the written and graphic representation
might disagree. |
| 2 |
The responses include partial records of observations. Student
entries might be incomplete, inaccurate, or lack detail. Misconceptions
might be present and the written and graphic representation
might reflect inaccurate or unreasonable outcomes. |

Scoring Guide: Bird Eggs - Question 3
| 2 |
The response clearly states the effect of egg shape on the
way it rolls. The response uses evidence or prior experience
to support conclusions about the relationship between egg shape
and the way the egg rolls. Minor conceptual or procedural errors
might be present. The response contains strong evidence that
the student is able to explain observations based on evidence
and data recorded in the task. |
| 1 |
The student response may include a statement about how the
shape of the egg affects the way it rolls. Explanations, if
present, might be vague, lack supporting evidence related to
the task or to prior experience, or be incomplete. Conceptual
or procedural errors might be present. The response contains
partial evidence that the student is able to explain observations
based on evidence or data recorded in the task. |
| 0 |
The response may contain phrases from the prompt or restate
the question but is largely incomplete or incorrect. The responses
shows little or no evidence that the student is able to use
evidence to explain observations. |

to the task. |
| blank |
No marks were made in the student response sections of the
task. |
Scoring Guide: Bird Eggs - Question 4
| 3 |
The response is complete and correct. It includes a recommendation
about the egg shape best suited for the environment. The response
explains the reasoning used to make this recommendation. The
explanation is supported with data, observations, or other sources
of information. The response gives strong evidence that the
student is able to synthesize multiple pieces of information
to construct ideas and evaluate issues. |
| 2 |
The response is mostly complete but might contain errors in
reasoning or data interpretation. The response might include
a recommendation about the egg shape best suited for the environment.
The explanation for the recommendation might be vague. The response
gives only partial evidence that the student is able to use
information to construct ideas or evaluate issues. |
| 1 |
The response is largely incomplete, incorrect, and contains
errors in reasoning and data interpretation. If present, a recommendation
about the egg shape best suited for the environment is not explained
or supported by evidence, observations or other information.
The response gives minimal evidence that the student is able
to use information to construct ideas or evaluate issues. |
| 0 |
The response may contain phrases from the prompt or restate
the question but is largely incomplete or incorrect. The responses
shows little or no evidence that the student is able to use
evidence to explain observations. |
| off topic |

to the task. |
| blank |
No marks were made in the student response sections of the
task. |
Scoring Guide: Bird Eggs - Question 5
| 2 |
The response is complete and clearly states whether or not
the shape of the egg affects the strength of the egg. The student
uses evidence from the strength test or prior experience to
support their conclusions about the relationship, if any. Although
minor conceptual or procedural errors may be present, the response
gives strong evidence that the student is able to use evidence
to explain observations. |
| 1 |
The response may be incomplete, vague, or lack evidence to
support conclusions about a relationship, if stated, between
egg shape and strength. Conceptual or procedural errors might
be present. The response gives only partial evidence that the
student is able to use evidence to explain observations.
