Discussion
Questions
A.P. standards cannot be found in
the experiment and the purpose is
not well thought out.
A.P. standards are evident in the
purpose but are not the central
focus. An experiment can be
performed but has not been well
thought out.
Thoughtful questions were
generated to answer the purpose
of the experiment. Answers to the
questions were based on the
results of the experiment.
Procedure
(List and use
of lab
equipment)
There is not a procedure or the
procedure provides little or no
direction as to set up the
investigation. The materials used
in the investigation are not listed.
The procedure contains all of the
necessary information to carry out
the investigation but is hard to
follow. Steps are missing or
investigations run together. The
materials used are listed but how
they will be used is unclear.
The procedure is well organized
and includes all the necessary
information to carry out each step
in the investigation. The materials
used and how they are going to
be used can easily be seen.
The results for the experiments are
not clearly displayed.
The results for each experiment are
displayed in charts, tables and
graphs. The independent,
dependent and control variables are
not clearly defined. Sample
calculations are not present for all
calculated data. Graphs are
correctly generated but with a few
mistakes.
The results for the experiment are
clearly displayed in charts, tables

dependent and control variables
are clearly defined. Sample
calculations are present for all
calculated data. Graphs are
correctly generated with a best fit
curve and slopes showing the
relationship between variables.

The conclusion is not based on
results or the A.P. Standards.
Error Analyses has not been
correctly performed. It is unclear
what was learned from the lab
Conclusion explains the results of
each investigation but is not clear to
how they relate to the A.P.
standards. The physical
relationships between the variables
are clearly explained but without the
use of mathematical models derived
from the graphs. A statistical error
analyses has been conducted but
has not differentiated experimental
and systematic error.
Conclusion clearly explains the
results of each investigation as
they relate to the purose. The
physical relationships between the
variables are clearly explained
with the use of mathematical
models derived from the graphs.
A statistical error analyses has
been correctly done showing the
experimental and systematic
error.
There was no refection
You reflected on the lab sharing
your feelings but without useful
feedback.
A detailed reflection on the
experience was given sharing
what you learned throughout the
process. Your dislikes and likes
about the lab were shared with
concrete feedback that can be
used to enhance future labs.
