Achievement
Investigate implications of heat for everyday life.
This involves showing awareness of how science is involved in an issue that students encounter in their everyday lives. This requires at least one of the following:
- the collection of primary evidence from an investigation and relating it to the scientific theory relevant to the issue
- the collection of secondary data and the identification of the scientific theory relevant to the issue under investigation. The issue must involve two different views, positions, perspectives, arguments, explanations, or opinions.
Implications of heat may relate to issues involving individuals, groups of people, society in general, the environment, or natural phenomena..
Aspects of heat may be chosen from, bit are not limited to to temperature, heat energy, specific heat capacity, conduction, convection, radiation, insulation, phase changes, latent heat, the relationships that are relevant to the investigation.
Achievement with merit
Investigate, in depth, implications of heat for everyday life.
This involves providing reasons for the way science is involved in this issue. This requires at least one of the following:
- the collection of primary evidence from an investigation and relating it to the scientific theory relevant to the issue in order to give an explanation of the issue being investigated
- the collection of sufficient relevant secondary data and the application of the identified scientific theory relevant to the issue to explain the different views, positions, perspectives, arguments, explanations, or opinions of the issue under investigation.
Make sure you can meet the requirements for Achievement.
Achievement with excellence
Investigate, comprehensively, implications of heat for everyday life.
This involves providing reasons and linking them in a way that clearly explains the science that is involved in this issue. This requires at least one of the following:
- the collection of primary evidence from an investigation and relating it to the scientific theory relevant to the issue in order to give a comprehensive and critical explanation of the issue being investigated
- the collection of sufficient relevant secondary data and the application of the identified scientific theory relevant to the issue to critically evaluate the different views, positions, perspectives, arguments, explanations, or opinions of the issue under investigation.
Make sure you can meet the requirements for Merit.
