Data Collection Data was collected several
times. It was summarized,
independently, in a way that
clearly describes what was
discovered.
Idea Independently identified a
question which was interesting
to the student and which could
be investigated.
Variables Independently identified and
clearly defined which variables
were going to be changed
(independent variables) and
which were going to be
measured (dependent
variables).
Diagrams Provided an accurate, easy-to-
follow diagram with labels to
illustrate the procedure or the
process being studied.
Conclusion/Summary Student provided a detailed
