| Understanding of basic concepts | demonstrates limited understanding of the presence of water in the environment by giving partial explanations that are rarely appropriate | demonstrates some understanding of the presence of water by giving incomplete and sometimes appropriate explanations | demonstrates general understanding of the presence of water by giving nearly complete and generally appropriate explanations | demonstrates thorough understanding of the presence of water by giving complete and appropriate explanations |
| Inquiry | rarely makes accurate observations and analyses information using very simple ideas | makes observations with some accuracy and analyses information using simple ideas | makes observations with general accuracy and analyses information using ideas of some complexity | makes accurate observations and analyses information using complex ideas |
| Communication | communicates with little clarity and precision rarely using appropriate terminology, vocabulary and symbols | communicates with some clarity and precision sometimes using appropriate terminology, vocabulary and symbols | generally communicates with clarity and precision usually using appropriate terminology, vocabulary and symbols | consistently communicates with clarity and precision always using appropriate terminology, vocabulary and symbols |
