Scientific Investigation
	Poor 2 pts	Fair 3 pts	Good 4 pts	Excellent 5 pts
Setup	Poor The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is erroneous or irrelevant. Many materials are described inaccurately OR are not described at all.	Fair The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is partially identified and is stated in a somewhat unclear manner. Most of the materials and the setup used in the experiment are accurately described.	Good The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is identified but is stated in a somewhat unclear manner. Almost all materials and the setup used in the experiment are clearly and accurately described.	Excellent The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is clearly identified and stated. All materials and setup used in the experiment are clearly and accurately described.
Results and Discussion	Poor The investigation does not display and interpret the results clearly. There is little to no interpretation and the results are not clear.	Fair Accurate representation of the data in written form, but no graphs or tables are presented. The relationship between the variables is discussed but no patterns, trends, or predictions are made based on the data.	Good Accurate representation of the data in tables and/or graphs. Graphs and tables are labeled and titled. The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed.	Excellent Professional looking and accurate representation of the data in tables and/or graphs. Graphs and tables are labeled and titled. The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. Predictions are made about what might happen if part of the lab were changed or how the experimental design could be changed.
Conclusion	Poor The investigation does not conclude the experiment well. There is no definite understanding of the experiment.	Fair The conclusion includes what was learned from the experiment.	Good The conclusion includes whether the findings supported the hypothesis and what was learned from the experiment.	Excellent The conclusion includes whether the findings supported the hypothesis, possible sources of error, and what was learned from the experiment.
Overall	Poor Overall the investigation is poor.	Fair Overall the investigation is fair.	Good Overall the investigation is good.	Excellent Overall the investigation is excellent.
