Any idea when they'll release the new rubric? I doubt the changes will be anything but minor, but I'd love to see how the point values changed.

What does the 2011 rubric mean when it says under number 3?: At least three levels or IV given

This means that you have different levels at which the indpendant variable was measured listed. For example, if you were seeing how the height of a ramp affected the distance a car travelled, you would say:XJcwolfyX wrote:What does the 2011 rubric mean when it says under number 3?: At least three levels or IV given
'Our independant variable was the height of the ramp, measured in centimeters from the floor to the highest point, at heights of ten, twenty, and thirty centimeters.'
Where you specify the different values you used for your IV is the three different levels.

best advice i can give as a veteran of ED. get someone with LARGE handwriting. i personally like to do the experiment and the criticism. try and get a 6/7/magnet nerd to memorize what each thing means. 8 graders usually forget unless its magnet.

Quick reply before I forget. Our experiment was just given the general idea of needing to do with force. We had some index cards, paperclips and cups.

Think before posting...
also, do you need to write very legibly? or just sem-legible
cuz at the end writing is a time-crunch

The only requirement for legibility, I believe, is that your partner has to be able to read it. Check with your partner first - and practice! - to see their threshold for neatness.ksun48 wrote:also, do you need to write very legibly? or just sem-legible
