Suggested next lesson
Model how a limitation affects reliability, validity, or precision.
| Criterion | Average | Risk | Common issue | Suggested intervention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal Engagement | 1.2 / 2 | Low | Generic personal rationale | Ask students to connect investigation choices to personal curiosity or context. |
| Exploration | 3.4 / 6 | Medium | Variables and controls are not specific enough | Review how to define independent, dependent, and controlled variables precisely. |
| Analysis | 2.8 / 6 | High | Weak data processing and missing uncertainty | Teach uncertainty, sample calculations, and graph interpretation. |
| Evaluation | 2.5 / 6 | High | Limitations are superficial and not linked to reliability | Model how a limitation affects reliability, validity, or precision. |
| Communication | 2.9 / 4 | Medium | Graphs and tables lack clear labels | Review figure captions, units, and table formatting. |
