Quality of work |
Excellent effort that successfully communicates all the relevant features of the experiment in a professional looking manner |
Good effort that is facilitates the reader's understanding of the data with no substantive grammatical or presentation errors |
Effort apparent with only modest errors in grammar or inconsistencies in presentation, handwritten |
Shows little effort, small and hard to see plots, ineffective communication due to handwriting or confused grammar |
Determination of initial velocity of ball |
Goes beyond accomplished by examining possible sources of variability or similar applications in the world. |
Data and calculations clearly presented with effective explanation of process. No substantive errors in data or analysis. |
Data and calculations clearly presented with some explanation of steps. Some errors in numbers or analysis |
Presents data and results with few intermediate steps or explanation. Would be hard to follow for novice |
Determination of numerical variability |
Uses previous ideas of variability with facility and insight to estimate a range of velocities. |
Uses previous ideas of variability appropriately to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Uses previous ideas of variability inconsistently to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Uses own ideas of variability to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Challenge Solution |
Determines line location clearly and effectively while exploring additional aspects or applications of the setting |
Application of data to determination of line location is easy to follow with no evident errors or omissions. |
Application of data to determination of line location is present with minor errors or omissions |
Application of data to determination of line location is hard to follow or disconnected from actual setting |
Analysis of success on challenge
|
Insightful error analysis if relevant with evident personal learning. If successful explores what might have gone wrong and its effects with insight. |
If in error analyzes and finds error and provides cogent analysis. If successful determines min/max with clear and appropriate connection to variability |
If in error analyzes and speculates on source of error and provides some analysis. If successful determines min/max with some reference to variability |
If in error guesses at error with little analysis. If successful determines min/max with no clear connection to variability |
