This document contains two rubrics for assessing a student's understanding of matter and their ability to conduct a scientific experiment on the topic. The rubrics evaluate students on their knowledge of central ideas, explanation of causation, use of scientific skills/methods, and demonstration of curiosity. Students are scored on a scale of 1-4 in these four areas by both the student and teacher.
