Developing
|
- Can search rainfall data for a local area from the BOM website.
- Can search rainfall data from the BOM website to find historical data.
- Makes statements about data from the BOM website (text/graphs/maps).
- Selects, labels, stores (and can retrieve) useful data from the BOM website.
- Produces visualisation (chart, infographic, etc) of major findings.
|
- Collects and enters data from both dataset sources into a spreadsheet. This data needs be made into a chart/graph.
- Analyses data from one dataset and makes some statements about meaning.

Proficient
|
- Searches/filters rainfall data for a local area from the BOM website.
- Can search and filter rainfall data from the BOM website to understand historical differences.
- Interprets data from the BOM website (text/graphs/maps).
- Selects, labels, stores (and can retrieve) important data from the BOM website.
- Produces oral and written reports that include a visualisation (chart, infographic, etc) of major findings.
