Designing an Investigation
	Highly Proficient 4 pts	Proficient 3 pts	Nearly Proficient 2 pts	Not Yet Proficient 1 pts
Variables	Highly Proficient Identifies more than one IV to be tested or more than one DV to be measured, and constructs the design so that the results of each of the variables can be analyzed seperately.	Proficient Accurately identifies one independent variable (IV) to be tested and one dependent variable (DV) to be measured that will test the hypothesis.	Nearly Proficient Identifies one IV to be tested and one DV to be measured one of which will not test the hypothesis; or identifies more than one IV or DV that can not be analyzed seperately.	Not Yet Proficient Identifies one IV to be tested and one DV to be measured that are won't test the hypothesis; or identifies more than one IV that can't be analyzed seperately, and no DV is identified.
Constants	Highly Proficient Accurately identifies many important variables that need to be controlled, and the values at which they will be kept.	Proficient Accurately identifies most of the important variables that need to be controlled, and the values at which they will be kept.	Nearly Proficient Identifies few important or some unimportant variables that can be controlled; or does not identify the values at which they will be kept.	Not Yet Proficient Does not accurately identifies any of the important variables that need to be controlled, and the values at which they will be kept.
Procedures	Highly Proficient Writes a set of procedures that can be easily and accurately replicated. The design attempts to disprove the hypothesis. Any diagrams included clarify procedures.	Proficient Writes a set of procedures that can be easily and accurately followed. The design will accurately test the hypothesis. Any diagrams that are included compliment procedures.	Nearly Proficient Writes a set of procedures that are somewhat difficult to follow, or are incomplete. The design only partially tests the hypothesis. diagrams included are incomplete.	Not Yet Proficient Writes a set of procedures that are difficult to follow and are incomplete. The design will not test the hypothesis. No diagrams included.
