Error Analysis
Calculations
Conclusion
Introduction provides all necessary
background principles for the
experiment
&
Experimental
procedure is well-written in bullets
format step by step, all experimental
details are covered.
One component of data is
incomplete:
1. Tables
2. Graphs
3. Results
Experimental errors, their possible
effects, and ways to reduce errors
are discussed.
All calculations are shown, and the
results are correct and labeled
appropriately.
Conclusions includes findings,
possible source of error, and what
was learned from experiment.
Introduction is nearly complete,
missing some minor points &
Experimental procedure is written in
bullets
format,
important
experimental details are covered,
some minor details missing.
Two components of data is
incomplete:
1. Tables
2. Graphs
3. Results
Experimental errors and their possible
effects are discussed.
Some introductory data, but still
missing some major points &
Experimental procedure is written in
bullets format, still missing some
important experimental details.
Some calculations are shown, and the
results are correct and labeled
appropriately.
Conclusions includes what was
learned from experiment.
Some calculations are shown, and the
results labeled appropriately.
Data is brief and missing significant
pieces of information.
Experimental errors are mentioned.
No conclusions were included in
report or shows little effort.

Standardization of equipment.
Cleaning and washing of
apparatus.
3. Clear practical understanding.
Used time well in lab and focused
attention on the experiment &
Makes rich observations and
Records relevant data in an
organized and skillful way
Only proper Cleaning and washing of
apparatus.
Some cleaning and washing of
apparatus.
Did the lab but did not appear very
interested. Focus was lost on several
occasions
&
Makes
many
observations, but they may be
insufficient to generate data and
Records data, but organization is
lacking.
Appropriate cleaning/ washing of
items.
Participation was minimal, OR
student
was
hostile
about
participating
&
Makes
few
observations and Records little data
Lab is carried out with some attention
to relevant safety procedures. The setup, experiment, and tear-down posed
no safety threat to any individual, but
several safety procedures need to be
reviewed.
Safety procedure were ignored,
and/or some aspect of the experiment
posed a threat to the safety of the
student or others
