Sketch/Plan

Poor

Student had a very rough design plan. Design was not labeled or did not include dimensions. Design does not include adjustments that occurred during construction.
Basic

Student had a basic
design plan. Design was not labeled or did not include dimensions. Design does not include adjustments that occurred during construction.
Very Good

Student had a detailed
design plan, but it was not clearly labelled. Additional elements have been added, and/or adjusted to allow for considerations that occurred during the construction of the project.
Outstanding

Student had a detailed design plan. Additional elements have been added, and/or adjusted to allow for considerations that occurred during the construction of the project.
Project Requirements

Poor

The student has demonstrated very little or no understanding of project requirements.
Basic

The project meets some of the requirements outlined in the specifications for design elements.
Very Good

The project meets most requirements outlined in the specifications for design elements.
Outstanding

The project meets requirements outlined in the specifications for design elements. The project includes innovative design features that exceed project specifications.
Construction Quality

Poor

Construction was incomplete. Student did not finish the project or complete the task to match any of the descriptors for this criterion.
Basic

Quality of construction needs improvement or did not meet expectations (i.e. secure joints, stability).
Many details need
refinement for a stronger product. Some failures during demonstration due to the quality of construction.
Very Good

Quality of construction is generally consistent with expectations (i.e. secure joints, stability). The machine did not fail during the demonstration due to quality of construction.
Outstanding

Quality of construction is consistent (or exceeds) expectations (i.e. secure joints, stability). Machine is designed in a robust manner so that no single part or element will fail.
Demonstration of the Project

Poor

The student has demonstrated very little or no understanding of the topic. Only one point of movement is evident on the device. The device is not able to move an object from one location to another.
Basic

The student has had some success in demonstrating the machine successfully. The hydraulic device demonstrates two points of movement. It is not able to move an object from one location to another.
Very Good

The student demonstrates the machine successfully. There are three points of movement on the device; however, the device is not consistently able to move an object from one location to another.
Outstanding

The student demonstrates the machine successfully. The hydraulic device demonstrates three points of movement and effectively moves an object from one location to another.
Presentation

Poor

The student does not participate in the presentation. The student is not able to communicate how the project works.
Basic

The student communicates information about the project during the demonstration, but does not use scientific vocabulary.
Very Good

The student attempts to communicate scientific information using some scientific language.
Outstanding

The student communicates scientific information using scientific language.
