explain, analyze and
interpret the experiment
and relate this to the
hypothesis. Includes
comparison to assigned
readings.
No
report
or section
missing
Lacking in any
substantial explanation
and/or analysis and/or interpretation of the
experiment. No link to
the hypothesis. Lacks adequate comparison to
readings.
Brief, insubstantial or incorrect
explanation and/or analysis
and/or interpretation of the experiment. Erroneous attempt
to link to the hypothesis. Lacks
adequate comparison to readings.

explanation, analysis and
interpretation of the experiment. Basic linkage created to the
hypothesis. Includes brief,
limited comparison to readings.

explanation, analysis and
interpretation of the experiment. Creates a link to the hypothesis.
Includes a sufficient comparison
to readings.
Offers a thorough explanation
and analysis of the
experiment interweaving the hypothesis with substantial
readings and overarching
themes.
