| + | ===== Notebook Rubric ===== | ||
| + | ==== General Grading Scale ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 4.0 (96-100%) - Perfect, I cannot think of anything else they could have done\\ | ||
| + | \ \ \ \ \ //All categories and aspects are present and no further improvement is necessary//\\ | ||
| + | 3.75 (93-95%) - A very good notebook, they just have a couple of things they could improve on\\ | ||
| + | \ \ \ \ \ //All categories and most aspects are present but there are several aspects that have room for improvement//\\ | ||
| + | 3.5 (87-92%) - A good notebook, could use some more work\\ | ||
| + | \ \ \ \ \ //All categories are present but there are some missing aspects or significant improvements to be made//\\ | ||
| + | 3.0 (78-84%) - An alright notebook, they have some good stuff but it needs a lot of improvement\\ | ||
| + | \ \ \ \ \ //Most categories are present but are missing some aspects. Some aspects are good but others need a lot of improvement//\\ | ||
| + | 2.5 (68-74%) - Not great, they left out very important pieces of information completely and what they have needs a lot of work \\ | ||
| + | \ \ \ \ \ //Many categories or aspects are left out and what is there needs major improvement//\\ | ||
| + | 2.0 (65%) - Very weak notebook, they turned something in but that's about it\\ | ||
| + | \ \ \ \ \ //Most categories are nonexistent and what is present is done poorly//\\ | ||
| + | 0.0 (0%) - Did not turn in a notebook | ||

| + | === Experimental Design === | ||
| + | * Communication: Clearly record the steps and results of the experiment. | ||
| + | * Scientific Process: Proceed intentionally through the experiment. | ||
| + | * Communication | ||
| + | * Diagrams are labeled and clear | ||
| + | * Procedure is clear and detailed enough to reproduce the experiment | ||
| + | * Observations are noted and related back to the concepts | ||
| + | * Predictions are listed and explained | ||
| + | * Reasoning/motivation shows why the experiment was carried out in this manner | ||
| + | * Scientific process | ||
| + | * List goals for each section of the lab | ||
| + | * Did they plan ahead? | ||
| + | * Did they work systematically? And intentionally? | ||
| + | * Multiple trials | ||
| + | * Attempts to improve accuracy | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Discussion === | ||
| + | * Uncertainty: Discuss uncertainty in measurements, models, and results. | ||
| + | * Results: Present results in a clear way and support claims with evidence. | ||
| + | * Uncertainty | ||
| + | * Measurements | ||
| + | * Recorded with uncertainty | ||
| + | * Discuss sources of uncertainty | ||
| + | * Uncertainty is quantified and explained | ||
| + | * Worked to reduce uncertainty | ||
| + | * Models | ||
| + | * Compared models to observations | ||
| + | * Discussion of limitations/assumptions of model | ||
| + | * Corrections to model based on experimental results | ||
| + | * Results | ||
| + | * Plot (if one exists) | ||
| + | * They graph their data in a way that makes sense | ||
| + | * The plot tells us something significant about the experiment | ||
| + | * Not just, x and y are linearly related | ||
| + | * There is a best fit line and a slope | ||
| + | * There are error bars on the data points | ||
| + | * Error bars that make sense | ||
| + | * They graphed their data in an interesting way that tells us something about the experimental parameters | ||
| + | * Conclusions | ||
| + | * They discuss the motivation of the experiment | ||
| + | * They summarize the process | ||
| + | * They discuss the result | ||
| + | * Slope or other significant result is given with uncertainty and compared to some expectation | ||
| + | * The significance of the result is discussed | ||
| + | * It is tied it to the bigger picture (implications) | ||
