Graphs are discussed in the lab report with some mention of discrepencies or comparison to the theoretical results.
Graphs are analysed (described) in the lab report. A comparison to the theoretical results is made, and all discrepencies are fully discussed.
An attempt to explain the An understanding of the underlying concepts concepts regarding the regarding the experiment experiment is is made and/or communicated with contained significant perhaps some error. error. Expectations for results is attempted and/or contains error.
The theory of the experiment is explained clearly (included a formula being tested). Expectations of results are communciated with minor error.
The theory of the experiment is explained clearly (including formula being tested), and expectations are linked to the results of the experiment without error.
Calculations contain errors or are difficult to follow (or read).
Calculations are easily followed and accurate.

Conclusions follow from the data, are clearly communicated, and a comparison to theoretical results is made.
Conclusions follow from the data; make reference to and support the Theoretical Background.
Discussion of lab questions is made with some errors. Mention of results is limited to findings
Discussion of lab questions is correct. Discussion of possible sources of error is made with supporting reference made to graphs and/or calculations.
Discussion of lab questions is correct. Discussion of lab results is insightful, demonstrates understanding, and poses questions worthy of further experiementation.
Graphs are present, but not mentioned in the report. Neatness may still be a goal.
Developing 2 Graphs are neat and easily read with titles. Little mention of them is made elsewhere in the report.
Calculations are accurate.
Discussion of lab questions is correct. Discussion of results is limited to possible sources of error.
