Rubric
for Oral Defense C Layer
Students will demonstrate their understanding of the goal covered by
defending their C layer assignments with an Oral defense.
- First
student must show a completed assignment in order to do an oral defense.
- Depending
upon the assignment the teacher will tell the student how many
questions will be asked them and what each question will be worth.
(Example: If the assignment is to do a vocabulary sheet
for the unit and it is worth 5 points then teacher might say I will ask
you to define five words I pick. Each correct answer will be worth one
point.)
- Teacher
will ask student and they will give their response.
- Teacher
will sign off on work sheet how many points the student earned.

Rubric
for B layer labs
- Title:
- Purpose:
State what it is you are trying to determine with
this lab.
- Materials
and Equipment:
List all materials used and draw a picture of the
equipment used
- Procedure:
List step
by step each procedure you used in doing up the experiment. Make sure
you are detailed and specific remember that it should be able to be
repeated by some one else simply by following your steps. Also be neat
and make each step in numbered sequence.
Example:
- We
placed…..
- Then
measured…...
- After
that we……
- Data
Collection and Data Analysis:
- Record
your data in a table. Make sure to take accurate notes.
- Data
analysis would be any equations charts or graph that are needed
- Conclusion:
Write what
you thought about the lab. Tell me the answer to the purpose of the
lab. Tell me any mistakes you may have made or things you would do
differently. Be specific and detailed here.
