Underdeveloped curiosity about chosen genetic engineering topic. Use of scientific concepts/language not apparent. Absence of connections between research and treatment plan seen.

Minimal curiosity about chosen genetic engineering topic seen. Knowledge of scientific concepts not fully developed. Treatment plan creation/development needs work.

Demonstrate a sustained intellectual curiosity about a chosen topic related to genetic engineering. Use knowledge of scientific concepts to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence. Use of scientific knowledge and findings to evaluate claims in secondary sources. Contribute to finding solutions at a local and/or global level through inquiry.

Demonstrate an awareness of assumptions, question information given, and identify bias in secondary sources. Well developed demonstration of a sustained intellectual curiosity about chosen topic. 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 secondary sources. Contribute to finding solutions at a local or global level through inquiry.

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

Partially developed understanding of chosen genetic engineering topic. 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 disease/disorder. Communicates scientific ideas, information, and a suggested course of action, for a specific purpose and audience. Constructs evidence-based arguments and using appropriate scientific language, conventions, and representations. Meets expectations.

In depth and very well developed understanding of genetic engineering topic. 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.
