Research Question

Poor

Question is unintelligible or missing key idea. Calculation of gravity disregardsd
Fair

Relationship is perceived and calculation of gravity addressed
Good

Relationship to be be explored clearly identified and measurable The purpose of the lab is clearly written, with all of the independent and dependent variables identified and explained in the context of the experiment determination of gravity addressed
Diagram

Poor

apparatus is missing key parts, is non-functioning as drawn or missing
Fair

apparatus is clearly presented and labelled
the diagram is clearly drawn with all of the variables in the experiment labeled
Good

apparatus is exceptionally well diagrammed
Background

Poor

background provided is insufficient or irrelevant to lab
no discussion of physics at work or theory behind the experiment
at least half of the variables are not defined or explained
Fair

background discusses physics/applies known principles to the lab situation
Theory behind the experiment addressed all variables considered
Good

advanced consideration of physical principles including correct mathematical relationships accounting for all variables
Equipment and Data Colelction

Poor

no use of analysis question #1 no reference to diagram no consideration of sig figs
Fair

question #1 used, sig figs considered
Good

a clear and precise explanation of equipment use with reference to diagram, #1 considered, sig figs used
Data Tables

Poor

not correctly titled
unclear or missing data
missing units
Fair

titled as per instructions
well formatted
most data included
units included
Good

titled as per instruction
well formatted
all graphed data presented
all calculated data presented
units included and logically chosen
Graphs

Poor

untitled, unlabeled messy or incomplete
no best fit line
data points connected
not scaled from origin
Fair

graphs titled, axes labled including units
best fit line shown
scaled to origin
Good

extremely well presented and formatted, scaled from origin and to emphasize the relationship proposed
all graphs consistently formatted
Analysis

Poor

no direct reference to values obtained experimentally
no calculation of gravity
does not include analysis questions or extensions from lab handhout
data is not used as evidence
no best fit relation addressed
Fair

some conclusions made rather than highlighting data; gravity incorrectly calculated, no graph used; incomplete or unclear explanation but usually supported with reference to data as evidence; some use of the best fit line
Good

data tharoughly considered, relations quantified, significant figures used throughout
best fit line used as evidence or relations outlined in background, explanation of how best fit and related mathematical quantities may be used gravity correctly determined experimentaly
error

Poor

misunderstanding of sig figs
Fair

some sig figs used partial understanding shown of how these determine error
Good

understanding of basic error analysis as function of measuring device. sig figs corectly used and manipulated throughout
nine points of analysis

Poor

missing more than two pieces of work mathematical misunderstanding
Fair

all relationships addressed and data provided for all 5 graphs
gravity calculated from graph, clearly explained
incomplete or insufficient mathematical analysis
Good

gravity correctly calculated and clearly explained
derivation/large amplitude addresseed
amplitude decreasing included
mathematical work clearly shown in variable form, values identified before calculations, units included
