LAB REPORT EVALUATION RUBRIC
3-Excellent 2-Good
Title of Lab (1%)  The title of the lab includes both
independent and dependent
variables.
Objectives (1%)  The purpose of the lab or the
question to be answered during
the lab is clearly identified and
stated.
Experimental Hypothesis  Hypothesized relationship
(2%) between the variables and the
predicted results is clear and
reasonable based on what has
been studied.
Data (3%)  Professional looking and accurate  Accurate representation of the
representation of the data in
tables and/or graphs. Graphs and
tables are labeled and titled.
Analysis (5%)  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.
Conclusion (2%)  Conclusion includes whether the
findings supported the
hypothesis, possible sources of
error, and what was learned from
the experiment.
Reference (1%)  References were written in
correct and consistent format
 No missing references in text and
in list of references
Total (15%)

 The purpose of the lab or the
question to be answered
during the lab is partially

 Hypothesized relationship
between the variables and
the predicted results has
been stated, but appears to
be based on flawed logic.
 Accurate representation of
the data in written form, but
there is no graphs or tables
are presented.
