I designed this rubric to include science inquiry skills that are outlined in the HCPS III science standards for
Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade. Note the different colors I have for each grade level. I think that
2nd grade students need to work on all of these skills, that is why I have put all of them into the same rubric.
Conversely, Kindergarten and 1st grade students need exposure to all the facets of the inquiry process in
science. There are some additional criteria included, which I took from the Ontario Science Standards.
Choose the wording and criteria that best matches how you teach. I have attached a pdf of this rubric at
the bottom of this subpage.
