Rubric For Conducting Laboratory Experiments

This document provides a rubric for evaluating student performance on laboratory experiments. It assesses students on criteria such as setup and equipment care, following procedures, data collection, safety precautions, and cleanup. For each criterion, it provides descriptions of performance at different levels from 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest level of performance and 5 being the highest level. For example, for setup and equipment care, a level 1 performance would involve needing significant help to complete basic procedures, while a level 5 performance would involve all equipment being accurately placed and all necessary supplies being on hand.
