A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION All calculated data in computer-generated data 7 = 66
Paragraph format tables 6 = 64
Relates major vocabulary of the content related to the Shows mean or other statistical analysis 1-5 revise
lab Numbers with appropriate significant figures
Discusses the major concepts from class as related to Error analysis (percent-error or percent-
the lab difference)
Incorporates provided questions if applicable Graphs
Citations are required for primary source information Computer generated graph(s)
Works Cited Page is required when citations are used Appropriate graph for data you have
Appropriate scale for axes
B. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A large enough graph to be usefully analyzed (
Paragraph Form page or larger)
Purpose and research question All graphs are titled
Variables and how they are measured (includes units) Each axis has labels w/units
Constants and Controls explained A best-fit line or curve (this depends on the data)
Testable Hypothesis with reasoning o Slope calculation (if a best-fit line is used)
Visual representations (if required)
C. METHODS
For Inquiry Procedure: present all steps of the F. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS
activity; is repeatable and clear Discuss the experiment
For Prepared Procedure: summarize major steps of o Purpose
procedure; highlight modifications to procedure o Hypothesis
Sketch of equipment set-up with labels (not the Data Discussion
person, just how equipment is assembled or laid out) o Trends in data
Safety Considerations (if appropriate) o Relationship between variables
o Hypothesis
D. DATA COLLECTION o Relate to classroom learning
All measured, unmanipulated (not calculated) data o Lab questions
Includes qualitative observations (if appropriate) Error Analysis
Computer-generated data tables o Error sources
Titles on each table o Error affects results
Labels for each column and/or row of tables o Minimizing errors
Appropriate metric units at top of columns/rows o Lab questions
Numbers with appropriate significant figures (if Future Research
appropriate) o New research with variables and set-up
Conclusions
E. DATA ANALYSIS o Relationship between the variables
