Accurate information taken from a couple of sources but not systematically. |
Information taken from only one source and/or information not accurate. |
|
Journal/Log - Content |
Journal provides a complete record of planning, construction, testing, modifications, reasons for modifications, and some reflection about the strategies used and the results. |
Journal provides a complete record of planning, construction, testing, modifications, and reasons for modifications. |
Journal provides quite a bit of detail about planning, construction, testing, modifications, and reasons for modifications. |
Journal provides very little detail about several aspects of the planning, construction, and testing process. |
|
Journal/Log - Appearance |
Several entries made and all are dated and neatly. |
Several entries are made and most of the entries are dated and neatly entered. |
Several entries are made and most of the entries are dated and legible. |
Few entries are made AND/OR many entries are not dated or very difficult to read. |
|
Plan |
Plan is neat with clear measurements and labeling for all components. |
Plan is neat with clear measurements and labeling for most components. |
Plan provides clear measurements and labeling for most components. |
Plan does not show measurements clearly or is otherwise inadequately labeled. |
|
Modification/Testing |
Clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing, and refinements based on data or scientific principles. |
Clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements. |
Some evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements. |
Little evidence of troubleshooting, testing or refinement. |
|
Function |
Compound machine functions extraordinarily well, combines more than two simple machines. |
Compound machine functions well, combines two or more simple machines. |
Compound machine functions pretty well, combines two simple machines. |
Machine invented is not compound, utilizes only one simple machine. |
|
Data Collection |
Data taken several times in a careful, reliable manner. |
Data taken twice in a careful, reliable manner. |
Data taken once in a careful, reliable manner. |
Data not taken carefully OR not taken in a reliable manner. |
|
Construction -Materials |
Appropriate materials were selected and creatively modified in ways that made them even better. |
Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better. |
Appropriate materials were selected. |
Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly. |
|
Construction - Care Taken |
Great care taken in construction process so that the structure is neat, attractive and follows plans accurately. |
Construction was careful and accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. |
Construction accurately followed the plans, but 3-4 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. |
Construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong or attractive product. |
|
Scientific Knowledge |
Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. |
Explanations by all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. |
Explanations by most group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. |
Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. |
