Lab Investigation Team Evaluation

All Teams are responsible for the first three questions:

Definition	Dictionary Definition	Definition in context with Examples	Scientific Explanation	Discriminate between definitions and/or viewpoints
Causes Sources Uses	Contaminant and evidence of contamination	Sources (point, non-point), historical and/or current uses	Routes, means of transport, primary vs. secondary, incidental	Documentation of problem based on what is known, unresolved questions, missing or controversial data
Concentration	Relative concentrations throughout Ramford	Change in concentrations over time in Ramford	Reasons for relative concentrations in Ramford	Assessment of the total extent of contaminant

Issues	1 Describe	2 Conclude	3 Explain	4 Evaluate and/or Recommend
Exposure	Effects on land, water, living things	Extent of problem	Interaction with the environment	Communication, containment, and mitigation needs
Routes of Exposure	Primary routes including absorption, inhalation and ingestion	Prevalence of different routes in Ramford	Chemical reactions and physiological effects of exposure in the primary routes	Routes and means for stopping exposure; prevention
Level of Exposure	Harmful levels in humans and wildlife	Levels by routes and behaviors of exposure	Scientific reasons for different levels by routes and behaviors	Levels of greatest concern and why
