PHSchool LabBench Activity: PHSchool Lab Bench Activity: Biology Mad: Suggested Rubric: The students will be evaluated for each unit according to the following rubric: Above Mastery (A) Mastery (B) In Progress (P) Multiple Choice Unit Exam (s) 93% or better 86% - 92.9% 85.9% or Free Response Question 8 or better on the unique rubric written for each question 5 – 7 on the unique rubric written for each question 4 or below on the unique rubric written for each question Laboratory Experiment (s) Laboratory experiments were performed, data collected and analyzed, and written in a concise, clear, and accurate manner with graphics/diagrams neat and complete and appropriate terminology according to teacher’s instructions. If formal lab is requested – use Lab Report Rubric Laboratory experiments were performed, data collected and analyzed, and written in a concise, clear, and accurate manner with graphics/diagrams relatively neat and complete and generally appropriate terminology according to teacher’s instructions. If formal lab is Laboratory experiments were performed and written in a concise, clear, and accurate manner with graphics/diagrams lacking in neatness and completeness and some appropriate terminology according to teacher’s instructions. If formal lab is requested – use Lab Report Rubric.
requested – use Lab Report Rubric Study Guide, Worksheets, Homework, and Notebook Study Guides, Worksheets, and Notebooks are consistently up to date, neat, and accurate. Information can be easily accessed. Study Guides, Worksheets, and Notebooks are relatively up to date, neat, and accurate Information can be somewhat easily accessed. Study Guides, Worksheets, and Notebooks are not up to date, neat, and accurate. It is difficult to access information. If a student falls within the “P” range the following steps will be taken to complete the outstanding unit: The student will be automatically be assigned to the after-school homework tutorial for the duration of the next unit or until mastery of the outstanding unit, whichever comes first. In the after school homework tutorial, the following steps should be taken: First, the student must complete all unfinished work for the outstanding unit. Second, the student will use his/her time to study the necessary material and ask for additional help if necessary. Third, student will retest if necessary. If the student masters the subject matter the second time around with an 86% or better and finished all past work with at least a B according to the rubric, he/she will earn a “B.” If the student doesn’t master the outstanding unit according to the rubric during current unit, the unit will be assessed with an H, W, or D. If a W is awarded then no credit for that unit may be obtained in the current calendar school year, but the student still may participate in the AP exam in May.
