Poor

Research does not help the student form a testable hypothesis and does not add to the student's prior knowledge.
Hypothesis & Variables

Excellent

Hypothesis is testable and directly correlates to the purpose. Provides references showing that hypothesis refutes or defends established knowledge. Variables were classified as dependent and independent.
Good

Hypothesis correlates to the purpose but is not stated as an if/then/because statement. Hypothesis refutes or defends established knowledge. Variables were identified and classified as dependent and independent.
Fair

Hypothesis is stated correctly, but does not correlate to the purpose of the project and is not testable.Variables were not completely described or were incorrectly classified as dependent or independent.
Poor

Hypothesis is unrelated to the purpose of the project. It is not tested throughout the project. Did not mention dependent and independent variables.

Materials are appropiate for the experiment and reproducibility is possible, though limited to certain audiences. Showed information about size and units of measurement.
Good

Materials are appropiate for the experiment but reproducibility is uncertain. List was not specific for all items regarding sizes and units of measurement.
Fair

Poor

Materials are not appropiate for the experiment or list of materials missing.
Procedure

Excellent

Student used appropiate materials and correctly stated the procedure so that anyone wishing to do the experiment can perform it and get the same results.
Good

Student used appropiate materials and stated the procedure so that anyone wishing to do the experiment can perform it but must guess what to do at 1-2 steps.
Fair

Student used appropiate materials and stated the procedure so that anyone wishing to do the experiment can perform it but must guess what to do at more than 2 steps.
Poor

Student did not use appropiate materials and incorrectly stated the procedure so that anyone wishing to do the experiment gets varied results.
Data-Tables & Graphs

Excellent

All axes are labeled. Data is understood but results may have to be referenced.
