Self-evaluation Lab Report Rubric

Chemistry/Mrs. Basile Name:_________________________

Rubric for Density is a Periodic Property Lab: (Self-evaluation)
Lab Report Rubric: Each bullet is worth 2 points. Each section must be included AND correct to receive full credit.

• 
  Format: followed directions
  
• 
  Purpose
  
• 
  Procedure summarized, not step by step
  
• 
  Procedure written in past tense passive voice in paragraph form
  
• 
  Data tables included
  
• 
  Data tables include appropriate units
  

Calculations demonstrated with formulas

• 
  Density of each metal (m/v)
  
• 
  Average density of each metal
  
• 
  Percent error
  
• 
  Calculations include appropriate units and correct significant digits
  
• 
  Results Table (shows density for trials 1-3 and average density with correct units)
  
• 
  Graph: axes labeled, title,
  
• 
  Graph: set up and drawn correctly (line of best fit included)
  
• 
  Results: Prediction of density of Germanium
  
• 
  Analysis: Discuss how you predicted the density of Germanium and how it compares to the actual value.
  
• 
  Analysis: Discuss how this is similar to what Mendeleev did to make predictions on his periodic table.
  
• 
  Conclusion: Summary made (what were your results?)
  
• 
  Conclusion: errors discussed
  
• 
  Conclusion: improvements suggested
  
• 
  Conclusion: did you achieve goal/purpose of lab? How?
  

Total: ______________ out of 40 (+2 pts if turned in before winter break)
