Fair Missing some parts of conclusion or knowledge gained. Connection between conclusion and hypothesis is not entirely clear.	Poor Missing conclusion completely, or conclusion and hypothesis are not connected.
Overall	Excellent Student presents all elements of experimental design so that it is exact, specific, and detailed. Student goes above and beyond expectations.	Good Student presents all key elements of experimental design. Clearly demonstrates knowledge of the concept.	Fair Student presents most elements of experimental design and is missing components that make their answer, specific, and detailed.	Poor Student presentation is missing most elements of experimental design. Detail is also lacking.
