Conducting an Experiment

Students are to design an experiment which can be conducted in the classroom. Projects must include a problem, hypothesis, research, step by step experiment instructions and a method to display data. Please state if the experiment supports the hypothesis. All information must be presented in a PowerPoint. Students will be responsible to turn in a safety data sheet detailing the safety of the products they are using. Students must also turn in a two page paper and a works cited page.

2 page paper 20 points possible	Excellent Problem is clearly stated and explains the reason for the experiment. Hypothesis is clearly stated and relates to the outcome of the experiment.	Good Problem is stated but minor details are missing. Hypothesis is stated but minor details are missing.	Fair Problem is stated but does not fully explain the reason for experiment. Hypothesis is stated but does not fully relate to the outcome of the experiment.	Poor Problem does not relate to experiment. Hypothesis does not relate to outcome of experiment.
Presentation 20 points possible. student clearly states all chemical formulas	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 elements of experimental design.	Fair Student presents most elements of experimental design and is missing components that make presentation exact, specific, and detailed.	Poor Student presentation is missing most elements of experimental design. Detail is also lacking.
Power point 10 points possible	Excellent Student gives detailed and appropriate method to display data. Chemical formulas must be displayed. Power point slides are appealing to the eye.
