Hypothesis
Development |
Independently
developed an hypothesis that is testable, measurable and shows a
comparison. |
Independently
developed an hypothesis somewhat testable, measurable, and shows a
comparison. |
Independently developed an
hypothesis but is missing one of the three key elements. |
Needed
extensive adult assistance to develop an hypothesis or hypothesis was missing
more than one key element. |
Descripton
of Procedure |
Procedures were outlined in a
step-by-step fashion that could be followed by anyone without additional
explanations. No adult help was needed to accomplish this. |

Procedures were outlined in a
step-by-step fashion, but had 1 or 2 gaps that require explanation even after
adult feedback had been given. |
Procedures that were outlined
were seriously incomplete or not sequential, even after adult feedback had
been given. |
Variables |
Independently identified and
clearly defined which variables were going to be changed (independent
variables) and which were going to be measured (dependent variables). |
Independently identified which
variables were going to be changed (independent variables) and which were
going to be measured (dependent variables). Some feedback was needed to
clearly define the variables. |
With adult help, identified and
clearly defined which variables were going to be changed (independent
variables) and which were going to be measured (dependent variables). |
Adult help needed to identify and
define almost all the variables. |
Presentation |
Each element in the presentation
had a function and clearly served to illustrate some aspect of the
experiment. All items, graphs etc. were neatly and correctly labeled. |

graphs etc. were correctly labeled. |
The presentation seemed
incomplete or chaotic with no clear plan. Many labels were missing or
incorrect. |
Conclusion/Summary |
Student provided a detailed
conclusion clearly based on the data and related to previous research
findings and the hypothesis statement(s). |
Student provided a somewhat
detailed conclusion clearly based on the data and related to the hypothesis
statement(s). |
Student provided a conclusion
with some reference to the data and the hypothesis statement(s). |
No conclusion was apparent OR
important details were overlooked. |
