Band 6
(7.36%)
|
Demonstrates an extensive knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts in Earth and Environmental Science, including complex and abstract ideas. Communicates scientific understanding succinctly, logically, and consistently using correct and precise scientific terms and application of nomenclature in a variety of formats and wide range of contexts. Designs and plans investigations to obtain accurate, reliable, valid and relevant primary and secondary data, evaluating risks, mitigating where applicable, and making modifications in response to new evidence. Selects, processes, and interprets accurate, reliable, valid, and relevant qualitative and quantitative, primary or secondary data, and represents it using a range of scientific formats to derive trends, show patterns and relationships, explain phenomena, and make predictions. Designs solutions to scientific problems, questions, or hypotheses using selected accurate, reliable, valid, and relevant primary and secondary data, and scientific evidence, by applying processes, modelling and formats. Applies knowledge and information to unfamiliar situations to propose comprehensive solutions or explanations for scientific issues or scenarios in Earth and Environmental Science.
