| Drawings/Diagrams |
Clear, accurate diagrams are included and make the experiment easier to understand. Diagrams are labeled neatly and accurately. |
Diagrams are included and are labeled neatly and accurately. |
Diagrams are included and are labeled. |
Needed diagrams are missing OR are missing important labels. |
| Procedures |
Procedures are listed in clear steps. Each step is numbered and is a complete sentence. |
Procedures are listed in a logical order, but steps are not numbered and/or are not in complete sentences. |
Procedures are listed but are not in a logical order or are difficult to follow. |
Procedures do not accurately list the steps of the experiment. |
| Calculations |
All calculations are shown and the results are correct and labeled appropriately. |
Some calculations are shown and the results are correct and labeled appropriately. |
Some calculations are shown and the results labeled appropriately. |
No calculations are shown OR results are inaccurate or mislabeled. |
| Analysis |
The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. Predictions are made about what might happen if part of the lab were changed or how the experimental design could be changed. |
The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. |
The relationship between the variables is discussed but no patterns, trends or predictions are made based on the data. |
The relationship between the variables is not discussed. |
| Experimental Hypothesis |
Hypothesized relationship between the variables and the predicted results is clear and reasonable based on what has been studied. |
Hypothesized relationship between the variables and the predicted results is reasonable based on general knowledge and observations. |
Hypothesized relationship between the variables and the predicted results has been stated, but appears to be based on flawed logic. |
No hypothesis has been stated |
