9.0: I asked a simple question about bridge strength and made a basic prediction

9.5: I developed a clear, testable question and explained my prediction using some scientific reasoning

10.0: I formulated a focused research question with variables identified and justified my hypothesis using scientific principles

10.5: I constructed a sophisticated research question that addresses multiple variables and developed a comprehensive hypothesis with detailed scientific rationale

9.0: I followed basic instructions to test my bridge with some attention to fairness

9.5: I planned a systematic approach with controlled variables and conducted reliable tests

10.0: I designed a comprehensive testing protocol, identified and controlled key variables, and implemented consistent procedures

9.0: I recorded basic measurements and observations in a simple format

9.5: I systematically collected data using appropriate units and organised it clearly in tables or charts

10.0: I meticulously recorded quantitative and qualitative data, processed it using calculations, and presented it in multiple formats

10.5: I comprehensively documented all data with precision, applied advanced processing techniques, and created sophisticated visual representations with error analysis

9.0: I described what happened and compared results to my prediction

9.5: I interpreted patterns in my data, explained results using scientific concepts, and identified some limitations

10.0: I analysed complex relationships in data, evaluated the validity of my hypothesis, and critically assessed experimental limitations with suggested improvements

10.5: I synthesised multiple data sources to draw sophisticated conclusions, demonstrated deep understanding of underlying physics principles, and provided comprehensive evaluation with innovative recommendations

9.0: I presented key information clearly with basic scientific language and simple visual aids
