評估準則例子

• make further predictions based on available experimental evidence.

• 如果模型（最後版本）的測試結果不是最好，學生會否探討當中的原因？能力稍遜的學生不會發現這個問題；能力一般的學生會解釋原因，根據已有的實驗結果，提出論證支持，而能力較強的學生還會進行實驗，驗證自己的解釋。

• propose hypotheses for investigation;
• plan and carry out scientific investigations consistent with scientific processes; e.g. the concept of a "fair" test;
• select appropriate apparatus and justify choice;
• suggest experimental procedures and methods that are appropriate to the questions being explored;
• understand what empirical evidence will support or refute claims.

• 提出假說，並清楚指出操縱和應變變因。
• 除確保不保變因不變外，還要確保所有測試在相同的實驗條件下進行，例如：同一日進行、同一地點測試等等。
• 選用容易找到的材料和儀器，並要考慮實驗安全的問題。
• 清楚列出各實驗步驟，並建議提高實驗準確性的方法。

• devise experiments with control variables where appropriate;
• define operationally physical quantities and qualities.

• 能力較強的學生懂得控制不變變因及解釋保持不變的原因。
• 清楚界定和控制變因。

• observe objects and/or events systematically;
• understand factors that might influence the quality of their observations.

• 細心觀察測試時的情況，注意影響實驗結果的環境因素，建議改善的方法。

• make measurements accurately using a variety of instruments;

• 運用合適的儀器，並懂得進行重複測試，增加數據的準確性。

• classify according to external features and observed chemical and physical properties

• 分辨內在和外在的影響因素。

• make systematic and accurate notes and drawings of observations;
• compile and display data in a variety of formats; e.g. tables and bar graphs.

• 記錄測試時的情況，可用文字和圖畫描述。
• 能力強的學生會運用圖表，找出變因的影響，以及變因之間的關係。

• identify similarities, differences, patterns or relationships in a variety of forms of data;
• suggest explanations for observations that are consistent with the evidence.

• 根據測試結果，清楚指出各變因的變化。另外，還懂得作出預測，找出最理想的參考值。

• combine findings of different investigations in drawing conclusions.

• 能力較強的學生除歸納各實驗結果外，還會指出變因之間的關係。
