QUESTION 53

Define the Problem/Observation: Which freezes faster, cold water or hot water?

(A) Demonstrates the ability to construct a clear and insightful problem statement with evidence of all relevant contextual factors.---(B) Demonstrates the ability to construct a problem statement with evidence of most relevant contextual factors, and problem statement is adequately detailed.----(C) Begins to demonstrate the ability to construct a problem statement with evidence of most relevant contextual factors, but problem statement is superficial.----(D) Demonstrates a limited ability in identifying a problem statement or related contextual factors.----

QUESTION 54

Propose Solutions/ Hypothesis: Cold water probably becomes frozen more quickly than hot water. 

(A) Proposes one or more solutions/hypotheses that indicate a deep comprehension of the problem. Solution/hypotheses are sensitive to contextual factors as well as all of the following ethical, logical, and cultural dimensions of the problem.----(B). Proposes one or more solutions/hypotheses that indicate comprehension of the problem. Solutions/hypotheses are sensitive to contextual factors as well as the one of the following ethical, logical, or cultural dimensions of the problems.----(C) Proposes one solution/hypothesis that is “off the shelf” rather that individually designed to address the specific contextual factors of the problem.----(D) Proposes a solution/hypothesis that is difficult to evaluate because it is vague or only indirectly addresses the problem statement.-----

QUESTION 55

Evaluate Potential Solutions/Prediction: Cold water will become solid faster than hot water.

(A) Evaluation of solutions is deep and elegant (for example, contains thorough and insightful explanation) and includes, deeply and thoroughly, all of the following considers history of problem, reviews logic/reasoning, examines feasibility of solution, and weighs impacts of solution.----(B) Evaluation of solutions is adequate (for example, contains thorough explanation) and includes the following, considers history of problem, reviews logic/reasoning.---(C) Evaluation of solutions is brief (for example, explanation lacks depth) and includes the following considers history of problem, reviews logic/reasoning, examines feasibility of solution, and weighs impacts of solution.---(D) Evaluation of solutions is superficial (for example, contains cursory, surface level explanation) and includes the following, considers history of problem, reviews logic/reasoning, examines feasibility of solution, and weighs impacts of solution.---

QUESTION 56

Identify Strategies/Set up Experiment: Two glasses of hot water and two glasses of water placed in freezer than timed and checked.

(A) Implements the solution in a manner that addresses thoroughly and deeply multiple contextual factors of the problem.---(B) Implements the solution in a manner that addresses multiple contextual factors of the problem in a surface manner.---(C) Implements the solution in a manner that addresses the problem statement but ignores relevant contextual factors.---(D)Implements the solution in a manner that does not directly address the problem statement.----
