COMMENTS: S2 (Standard) U0 Writing Lab Report 1=#N is mastering the required grade level concepts, knowledge and skills by applying and extending these in a wide range of complex situations independently. In Science class we have worked on demonstrating an understanding of the proper writing style for a lab report by exploring and conducting a lab experiment using the conventions of the scientific process. 2=#N is proficient in demonstrating understanding of the required grade level concepts, knowledge and skills with minimal or no teacher support needed to transfer learning to new situations. In Science class we have worked on demonstrating an understanding of the proper writing style for a lab report by exploring and conducting a lab experiment using the conventions of the scientific process. 3=#N is progressing in demonstrating, with some gaps, understanding of the required grade level concepts, knowledge and skills by applying them in familiar situations with occasional teacher support. In Science class we have worked on demonstrating an understanding of the proper writing style for a lab report by exploring and conducting a lab experiment using the conventions of the scientific process. 4=#N is demonstrating emerging understanding of the required grade level concepts. The student is beginning to apply related knowledge and skills but needs a high level of teacher support. In Science class we have worked on demonstrating an understanding of the proper writing style for a lab report by exploring and conducting a lab experiment using the conventions of the scientific process. COMMENTS: S3 (Standard) U0 Writing Lab Reports 1=In our recent Food Dye Lab experiment, #N discussed the importance of each variable, discussed extended scientific reasoning of the constructed hypothesis, evaluated the validity and limitation of the testable question, and discussed the importance of each safety practices in the experiment. 2=In our recent Food Dye Lab experiment, #N described appropriate variables, constructed a hypothesis backed by appropriate science reasoning using if/then format, constructed questions using cause/effect format, designed a procedure with clear and concise instructions in the correct sequence, described the use of all equipment where the correct units and measurements were applied, and described the safety equipment and practices in the experiment. 3=In our recent Food Dye Lab experiment, #N listed some appropriate variables, stated a hypothesis with some science or confusing reasoning, stated questions that were somewhat testable, listed incomplete and erroneous sequence instructions for procedure where some units and measurements were stated, and listed safety equipment in the experiment. 4=In our recent Food Dye Lab experiment, #N's variables, hypothesis, testable question, procedure and safety practices in the experiment were incomplete and confusing.
