Today we worked on the free fall lab. We read through the exemplar that I handed out, and did a peer edit of the rough draft that was due. We also worked on v/t plots, creating a v/t plot from a written description of motion, and writing a description of the motion shown on a v/t plot.
Due on Tuesday, 2/5 will be the final draft of the free fall lab. It will ONLY include the Procedure, Data, and Conclusion sections this time. You will also need to turn in the lab sheet with all the data you collected.
Below is the rubric that we used to do the peer edit of the lab. If you were out today, the final draft is still due on Tuesday 2/5.
Rubric - Rough draft Free Fall lab
Procedure
- written as a narrative (story), not a list of commands
- focus is on the measurements and how they were taken
- values of the measurements are not included
Data
- data is presented in a neat, orderly way
- the two height measurements are clearly displayed
- it is easy for the reader to compare the two height measurements
Conclusion
-the lab is summarized (purpose, procedure, and results)
- action is taken on the results (stating which measurement was more reliable and why)
-sources of error are discussed with specific impact of each source (time to big, small, etc)
-suggestions are made about how to improve the way the measurements could be made
