Problem Stated clearly and correctly Stated correctly but missing up to two items Stated incorrectly and missing more than two items Did not include the question Variables Correctly identified and clearly defined which variables were going to be changed and which were going to be measured. Listed controlled variables. Correctly identified and defined either the independent or the dependent variable. Identified the wrong independent variable and dependent variable Did not identify the variables Hypothesis Stated clearly in the If/then/because format and relevant to the purpose of the laboratory experiment Stated correctly but is not in the if/then/because format. Missing the connection to the purpose Stated incorrectly and is not connected to the purpose of the laboratory experiment Missing a hypothesis Procedure (Only included if not given to students) All Procedures included in the laboratory report. They are clear and easy to follow. Missing one or two key procedures making it difficult to duplicate Missing more than two key procedures making impossible to duplicate Did not include procedures Data Tables The student organized the information in a table with an average calculated. Measurements were taken in the metric system. 3 trials were preformed. Data is difficult to decipher and is missing one or two key components. Data table is not clear and does not contain valid data. (averaged wrong) Did not include a data table. Graphs Graphs are representative of the data tables. They are clearly composed and include all of the correct labels and informative title. (not the title of the lab) Graphs are representative of the data tables. They are not easy to decipher and are missing one or two key components. Wrong Graph was used to represent the data. No graph was included. Analysis The student analyzed the data for patterns or relationships. Used data in a different way to support the patterns. The student clearly summarized the results of the trials. The student summarized the results of the trials, however left out some information. Did not include an analysis Conclusion (x2) the connection between science content and the laboratory experiment. All components are well developed and correct. Makes the connection between science content and the laboratory experiment. One or two components are missing or incorrect. Does not make the connection between science content and the laboratory experiment. Three or more components are missing or incorrect. Missing a conclusion. Research Researched the appropriate and applied it in the appropriate way Researched the appropriate topic and summarized the research Researched the key terms only Missing Points will be subtracted for spelling and or grammatical errors.
