Makes a prediction based on a previous observation. When asked to give a reason for a prediction his or her answer includes a previous observation(s) as the basis of the predition. Can explain the difference between a prediction and a guess. |
Predicts based on observation. Can distinguish between predictions that are sensible, possible, plausible, and certain. Can explain the difference between a prediction and inference. |
Knows when it is appropriate to predict and what specific quantitative or qualitative data is needed to make a prediction, can identify the data sources, explain the reasoning for a prediction, and estimate the probability. Will look for additional observations to refine predictions' accuracy. Can predict relationships, extrapolations, and interpolation. |
