CATEGORY Idea

Science Project Professional 5pts-Independently identified a question which was interesting to the student and which could be investigated.

Science Project Proficient 4pts-Identified, with adult help, a question which was interesting to the student and which could be investigated.

Science Project Apprentice 3pts- Identified, with adult help, a question which could be investigated.

Variables

Data Collection

10pts-Independently identified and clearly defined which variables were going to be changed (independent variables) and which were going to be measured (dependent variables). 20pts- Data was collected several times. It was summarized, independently, in a way that clearly describes what was discovered.

8pts- 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 15pts-Data was collected more than one time. It was summarized, independently, in a way that clearly describes what was discovered.

6pts- 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). 10pts-Data was collected more than one time. Adult assistance was needed to clearly summarize what was discovered.

Graphs and Charts

15pts-several graphs are used to analyze data in an effective way. The graphs follow all procedures proper graphing.

12pts-One graph is included. It is used to properly analyze the data collected. It is neat and follows all graphing procedures

9pts-Graph/s are included but are minimally effective in analyzing the data collected. There are errors in graphing.

Descripton of Procedure

10pts -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. 20pts- Student provided a detailed conclusion clearly based on the data and related to previous research findings and the hypothesis statement(s).

8pts- Procedures were outlined in a step-by-step fashion that could be followed by anyone without additional explanations. Some adult help was needed to accomplish this. 15pts- Student provided a somewhat detailed conclusion clearly based on the data and related to the hypothesis statement(s).

6pts- 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.

Conclusion/Summary

10pts-Student provided a conclusion with some reference to the data and the hypothesis statement(s).

Display

20pts- Each element in the display had a function and clearly served to illustrate some aspect of the experiment. All items were included and were neatly and correctly labeled.

15pts- Each element had a function and clearly served to illustrate some aspect of the experiment. Most items, were included and are neatly and correctly labeled.

10pts-Each element had a function and clearly served to illustrate some aspect of the experiment. some components may be missing or out of sequence or mislabeled.

Science Project Rookie 2pts-Identified a question that could not be tested/investigated or one that did not merit investigation.

4pts-Adult help needed to identify and define almost all the variables.

5pts-Data was collected only once and adult assistance was needed to clearly summarize what was discovered.

6pts-Graph/s are included but do not help with analysis of data. they are hard to read or missing major components

Procedures that were outlined were seriously incomplete or not sequential, even after adult feedback had been given.

5pts- No conclusion was apparent OR important details were overlooked.

5pts-The display seemed incomplete or chaotic with no clear plan. Many labels were missing or incorrect.
