Assessing How You Got On

THIS IS LEGACY MATERIAL - the science is correct but the marks no longer apply!

Up to 6 marks are available for evaluating each stage of your practical investigation.

As with the other 3 areas of assessment, the criteria you have to meet are hierarchical - you must achieve the lower marks before you can be awarded marks higher up.

The Evaluating Criteria

The table below indicates the criteria your work will be marked against. Failing to say anything at all about the experiment or your results would mean that you could not score E.2a, and as a result would score zero for the evaluation.

E.2a make a relevant comment about the procedure used or the evidence obtained

E.4a comment on the quality of the evidence, identifying any anomalies

E.4b comment on the suitability of the procedure and, where appropriate, suggest changes to improve it

E.6a consider critically the reliability of the evidence and whether it is sufficient to support the conclusion, accounting for any anomalies

E.6b describe, in detail, further work to provide additional relevant evidence
