The rubric outlines the key components of a good lab report and provides criteria for evaluating each component as good, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory. A good lab report will have: a clear and understandable procedure, discussion of data analysis and major results, neat graphs and figures with correctly plotted data and measurements, clear statements of major results and sources of error, an original initialed data sheet, and a clear title with all relevant details.
