 * CATEGORY || 4 || 3 || 2 || 1 ||
 * Question/Purpose || The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is clearly identified and stated. || The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is identified, but is stated in a somewhat unclear manner. || The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is partially identified, and is stated in a somewhat unclear manner. || The purpose of the lab or the question to be answered during the lab is erroneous or irrelevant. ||
 * Experimental Hypothesis || Hypothesized relationship between the variables and the predicted results is clear and reasonable based on what has been studied. || Hypothesized relationship between the variables and the predicted results is reasonable based on general knowledge and observations. || Hypothesized relationship between the variables and the predicted results has been stated, but appears to be based on flawed logic. || No hypothesis has been stated. ||
 * Materials || All materials and setup used in the experiment are clearly and accurately described. || Almost all materials and the setupu used in the experiment are clearly and accurately described. || Most of the materials and the setup used in the experiment are accurately described. || Many materials are described inaccurately OR are not described at all. ||
 * Variables || All variables are clearly described with all relevant details. || All variables are clearly described with most relevant details. || Most variables are clearly described with most relevant details. || Variables are not described OR the majority lack sufficient detail. ||
 * Procedures || Procedures are listed in clear steps. Each step is numbered and is a complete sentence. || Procedures are listed in a logical order, but steps are not numbered and/or are not in complete sentences. || Procedures are listed but are not in a logical order or are difficult to follow. || Procedures do not accurately list the steps of the experiment. ||
 * Data || Professional looking and accurate representation of the data in tables and/or graphs. Graphs and tables are labeled and titled. || Accurate representation of the data in tables and/or graphs. Graphs and tables are labeled and titled. || Accurate representation of the data in written form, but no graphs or tables are presented. || Data are not shown OR are inaccurate. ||
 * Calculations || All calculations are shown and the results are correct and labeled appropriately. || Some calculations are shown and the results are correct and labeled appropriately. || Some calculations are shown and the results labeled appropriately. || No calculations are shown OR results are inaccurate or mislabeled. ||
 * Analysis || The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. Predictions are made about what might happen if part of the lab were changed or how the experimental design could be changed. || The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. || The relationship between the variables is discussed but no patterns, trends or predictions are made based on the data. || The relationship between the variables is not discussed. ||
 * Conclusion || Conclusion includes whether the findings supported the hypothesis, possible sources of error, and what was learned from the experiment. || Conclusion includes whether the findings supported the hypothesis and what was learned from the experiment. || Conclusion includes what was learned from the experiment. || No conclusion was included in the report OR shows little effort and reflection. ||
 * Summary || Summary describes the skills learned, the information learned and some future applications to real life situations. || Summary describes the information learned and a possible application to a real life situation. || Summary describes the information learned. || No summary is written. ||
 * Scientific Concepts || Report illustrates an accurate and thorough understanding of scientific concepts underlying the lab. || Report illustrates an accurate understanding of most scientific concepts underlying the lab. || Report illustrates a limited understanding of scientific concepts underlying the lab. || Report illustrates inaccurate understanding of scientific concepts underlying the lab. ||
 * Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar || One or fewer errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar in the report. || Two or three errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar in the report. || Four errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar in the report. || More than 4 errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar in the report. ||
