thinking and reasoning and can apply this to unfamiliar situations. Students
can also develop simple arguments to question and critically analyse
explanations, models, interpretations of data and proposed experimental
designs in
some personal, local and global contexts.

At Level 3, students are able to use content, procedural and epistemic
knowledge to provide explanations, evaluate and design scientific
enquiries and interpret data in some given life situations that require at
most a medium level of cognitive demand. They are able to draw a few
inferences from different data sources, in a variety of contexts, and can
describe and partially explain simple causal relationships. They can
distinguish some scientific and non-scientific questions, and control some
variables in a given scientific enquiry or in an experimental design of their
own. They can transform and interpret simple data and are able to
comment on the confidence of scientific claims. Level 3 students show
some evidence of linked scientific thinking and reasoning, usually applied
to familiar situations. Students can develop partial arguments to question
and critically analyse explanations, models, interpretations of data and
proposed experimental designs in some personal, local and global
contexts.

At Level 2, students are able to use content, procedural and epistemic
knowledge to provide explanations, evaluate and design scientific
enquiries and interpret data in some given familiar life situations that
require mostly a low level of cognitive demand. They are able to make a
few inferences from different sources of data, in few contexts, and can
describe simple causal relationships. They can distinguish some simple
scientific and non-scientific questions, and distinguish between
independent and dependent variables in a given scientific enquiry or in a
simple experimental design of their own. They can transform and describe
simple data, identify straightforward errors, and make some valid
comments on the trustworthiness of scientific claims. Students can
develop partial arguments to question and comment on the merits of
competing explanations, interpretations of data and proposed experimental
designs in some personal, local and global contexts.

At Level 1a, students are able
to use a little content, procedural and
epistemic knowledge to provide explanations, evaluate and design
scientific enquiries and interpret data in a few familiar life situations that
require a low level of cognitive demand. They are able to use a few simple
sources of data, in a few contexts and can describe some very simple
causal relationships. They can distinguish some simple scientific and non-
scientific questions, and identify the independent variable in a given
scientific enquiry or in a simple experimental design of their own. They can
