The document is a peer-grading rubric for science lab notebooks, outlining criteria for evaluating various components such as the problem statement, hypothesis, experiment procedure, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion. Each section is scored on a scale from 0 to 3, with specific expectations for clarity and detail. The total score possible is 27 points.
I. Problem (“P”): The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered
during the lab is clearly identified and stated. 3 2 1 0
II. Hypothesis (“H”): The hypothesis is stated as an "If, then, because"
statement. The variables (independent and dependent variables) are clear. 3 2 1 0
III. Experiment/Procedure (E”): Procedures are listed in clear steps. Each
step is numbered in order and is a complete sentence. The steps are detailed enough to repeat experiment as written. The procedure includes a complete materials list. 3 2 1 0
IV. Data Collection/Observation (“O”): The data is in a table. It is neat and
accurate. Tables are titled and labeled with units (i.e. “cm” “grams” etc.). 3210
V. Data Analysis/Graph/Observation continued (“O” - continued): The
data is graphed (line or bar, for example). It is a neat and accurate representation of the data. Each axis labeled with units. There is a specific title. An appropriate scale is used. Variables are on the correct axis. 3 2 1 0
VI. Conclusion (“C”):
a. Problem: Restates the problem and the variables being tested in the experiment, then summarizes the results. 3 2 1 0 b. Evidence: Restates and accepts or rejects the hypothesis. Explains the results using specific numbers from the data. States what was learned from the lab. 3 2 1 0 c. Analysis: Discusses the “uncontrolled” variables (things that may have affected the independent and dependent variables), or sources of error. Discusses changes to the experiment and/or possible follow-up labs. 3 2 1 0 d. So What (Sum it up): Why is this investigation important? 3 2 1 0
