(no work shown)
No work shown;
Does not show work indicative of understanding the concept of calibration.
Some work needs to be shown indicative of the student's understanding of the concept of calibration. For example, "215 - 212 = 3 " or "The thermometer is 3 degrees off. "

"The actual temperature of the hot gas is 375 degrees. "

Does not correctly calculate the actual temperature.

Showing the calculation leading to the correct answer or explaning how it is determined, e.g. "375 - 3 = 372 " or "Since the thermometer is off by 3, the actual temperature of the hot gas is 372 degrees. "

No development of the response is shown.

One prediction correlates with data in the table.

Some work is shown about how the (incorrect) prediction for Air Pressure was determined, but it is incomplete and unexplained.

There is no explanation of how changes in factors influence each other; No development of concepts or any other indicators of student understanding of the interaction between weather factors in predicting the weather.

The prediction for air pressure should be corrected from 28.65 given in the response to something below 28.25;

The prediction for precipitation should be corrected from 1.00 given in the response to something between 1 and 2 inches showing an increase from the value 1.3 given for day 7.

Some statement should be made of how the data in the weather log indicates that the different weather factors exhibit influences on each other.

Concepts related to the question (e.g. relative humidity; air pressure, etc.) could be explained; terms could be clarified; examples from the weather log could be cited; connections between the factors could be made and explained.
