| Content Literacy(60%) |
| Students show a lack of respect for the equipment by using it inappropriately.Students do not state the problem as a logical cause and effect. Students write a hypothesis without an “IF, THEN” statement.Material list is incomplete.Procedure lacks important details.Data table is incomplete or inaccurate. Graph is inaccurate or lacks essential features. Qualitative descriptions are vague or inaccurate. |
Students respect the equipment and only use it for experimentation purposesStudents state the problem with independent and dependent variables in a cause and effect relationship.Students write the hypothesis as a logical “IF, THEN” statement.Materials list is complete. Procedure is described in numbered steps.Quantitative data is recorded in table with appropriate headings and units. Graph is accurate and labeled. Qualitative data is descriptive. |
In addition to meeting the PROFICIENT criteria …Experiment could easily be replicated based on description of process and operational definitions.Graph of quantitative data is accurately drawn AND contains title, labels, units. A logical connection is maintained among the problem, hypothesis and results discussion. |
