Observation/Problem/Question
Excellent
When faced with using the scientific method to solve a problem you clearly observed the situation and researched possible solutions.
Good
Observations and ideas used to explore possible solutions are not written down or are hard to understand.
Emerging
Incomplete. Good intentions, but this aspect of your lab lacks focus. Writing needs work.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
Hypothesis
Excellent
Is stated as an if...then ... because ... statement.
Is directly related to the problem with important supporting details about what may be causing the problem or what could be done to solve it.
Good
Is stated in if...then... because ... format but needs to relate to the problem more directly and identify a realistic "because" statement.
Emerging
Needs to be stated as if...then... because ... statement. Needs to relate to the problem more directly.
Needs supporting detail (a better because).
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
Materials list
Excellent
List is complete for an accurate replication of the experiment. List includes quantitative measurements using the metric system.
Good
List is complete but quantities not always there or missing completely.
Emerging
Listed but not complete. Quantities missing or are rarely there or the metric system isn't used for data collection.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
Reliability/Validity
Excellent
Thought is clearly given to setting up procedures that promote reliable and valid results. A control group used when applicable.
Good
Could have done more to establish reliability or validity by identifying more control variables or other impacts that would change results caused by manipulated variables.
Emerging
Reliability, validity, controls and manipulatives are mentioned but not implemented. Procedure likely does not test what you think it is testing.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
Procedures
Excellent
Written as though giving directions. Written in complete sentences.
Are complete with no steps missing. A model or diagram is used as needed.
Good
Logical sequence but missing steps. Some incomplete sentences. The model or diagram that is used is incomplete or distracting.
Emerging
Needs more steps for the lab to be reliable.
Needs complete sentences. Model isn't used when it would have been an obvious addition.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
Test Results/Data
Excellent
An accurate data chart
and graph is present. The data graph is properly set up and is supported by the data in the chart. Includes relevant qualitative data and other observations.
Good
Data chart needs to be properly labeled to make sense of the data and /or graph needs to be properly labeled to make better sense of the results.
Emerging
Data missing from the data chart and or graph.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
Conclusion
Excellent
Conclusion sums up the data and analyzes how the test procedures could have been improved and how the data relates to the hypothesis.
Good
Some questions about the data are not discussed or have incomplete answers conclusions.
Emerging
Hypothesis needs to be
restated and data used to describe how it is or is not supported needs more analysis.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory
This part of the report is missing or doesn't provide enough learning evidence.
