Question Rubric Score

1(e)
[Able to state the relationship between the manipulated variable and
the responding variable with direction correctly]
Sample answer: 3
Bronze is harder than copper // Copper is softer than bronze
//Bronze has smaller size / diameter of dent than copper// alloy is
harder than its pure metal
Able to state the relationship between the manipulated variable and
responding variable
Sample answer:
When the size / diameter of dent is smaller, the material is harder 2
[Able to state the idea of hypothesis]
Sample answer: 1
Different materials have different diameter/size of the dent
[No response or wrong response] 0

Question Rubric Score

1(f)
[Able to state the operational definition for hardness of material block
correctly ]
Sample answer: 3
When weight is dropped on the surface of the block//when force is
applied, the material that has a smaller dent is the alloy
[Able to state the operational definition less accurately]
Sample answer: 2
The material that has smaller size / diameter of dent is the alloy.
[Able to state an idea of the operational definition] 1

3
 Sample answer:
Bronze is alloy.
[ No response or wrong response] 0

Question Rubric Score

1(g)
[Able to state the relationship accurately]
Sample answer: 3
The smaller the diameter of the dent, the harder the material/block. //
The bigger the diameter of the dent, the softer the material/block.
[Able to state the relationship less accurately]
Sample answer: 2
The smaller the diameter of the dent, the stronger the material/block.
[Able to state an idea of the relationship]
Sample answer: 1
Different material/block produce different diameter of dent
