Scientific Knowledge

 Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much 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 all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.   Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.

Construction Materials

 

 Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly. Appropriate materials were selected. Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better. Appropriate materials were selected and creatively modified in ways that made them even better.

 

 

Constructions-Care Taken

 

 Construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong or attractive product. Construction accurately followed the plans, but 3-4 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. Construction was careful and accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. Great care taken in construction process so that the structure is neat, attractive and follows plans accurately.
