The document is a rubric for grading lab reports with sections for the title, problem/purpose, background, hypothesis, materials, procedure, data presentation, analysis, conclusion, and citations. Each section is worth a certain number of points totaling 90 points. The rubric provides guidance on what should be included in each section, such as the title indicating the investigation, the hypothesis being testable and predicting the relationship between variables.
