    The document provides guidelines for assessing students' investigative projects. It outlines 4 objectives for the projects, which are to appreciate the scientific method, communicate research accurately, apply skills and theory to solve problems, and synthesize information. Students can work in groups up to 6 people, and the teacher will assign each student the same group mark. The criteria assess planning and design (12 marks), analysis and interpretation (12 marks), with requirements like stating hypotheses, methods, results, limitations, and conclusions. General guidelines instruct teachers to mark student workbooks and assess skills during practical exercises. A maximum of two skills can be assessed per experiment.

    Fractional marks should not be awarded.

    Wherever the Unit mark is not divisible by three, then

    (a) when the remainder mark is 1, it should be allocated to Module 1; and,

    (b) when the remainder is 2, one of the marks should be allocated to Module 2 and the other
    mark to Module 3.

    Appropriate practical exercises for assessing any skill may be selected from any Module in the relevant
    Unit.

     INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT

    Objectives of the Investigative Project

    The Investigative Project must focus on a challenge to be addressed within the environment or
    society. On completion of the Investigative Project students should:

    1. Appreciate the use of the scientific method for discovery of new knowledge and to the solution of
    problems;

    2. Communicate accurately and effectively the purpose and results of research;

    3. Apply experimental skills and theory to the solution of problems; and,

    4. Synthesise information based on data collected.

    Students are encouraged to work collaboratively. Where collaborative work is done, group sizes must
    not exceed six (6) persons per group. The teacher is expected to use the group mark for the project and
    add it to the marks for the other skills for each individual candidate within the group.

    SCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENT – GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS

    1. Each candidate is required to keep a laboratory workbook which is to be marked by the


    teacher. Teachers are also expected to assess candidates as they perform practical exercises
    in which Manipulation and Measurement skills are required.

    2. A maximum of two skills may be assessed by any one experiment.
