Laboratory Skills Rubric

The document provides rubrics for assessing scientific inquiry skills and experimental design, observations and conclusions from a laboratory experiment, and active work and safety in the laboratory. The rubrics evaluate variables, materials, procedures, data presentation, conclusions, teamwork, organization, cleanliness, and safety. Criteria include correctly identifying variables, including all necessary materials, writing clear procedures, collecting relevant data, drawing evidence-based conclusions, working respectfully with others, and following laboratory safety rules. Performance is scored on a scale from well done to incomplete.
