Heat Engine
25 %

Does the apparatus, itself, work?
Poor

The apparatus not only does not work but is incomplete and lazily attempted.
Fair

The apparatus does not work, but evidence exists of several solid attempts, solid meaning both logically thought-out and demonstrative of hard work.
Good

The apparatus might not work consistently but does show promise and looks as though effort and solid thought were invested into it. The design should look like it would theoretically work but, for some reason on design day, does not.
Great

The apparatus works, and it does not appear as though your parents made it or bought you half-finished parts from a kit.
Presentation
10 %

Does the group present the project well to the class?
Poor

Group members are obviously unprepared. Group members do not know what to say or their presentation is poorly coordinated/irrelevant to the material. The presentation is shorter than five minutes long.
Fair

Group members are somewhat prepared. There is disorganization over who presents which lines. The presentation is shorter than five minutes long.
Good

Group members are mostly prepared. There are occasional short pauses as group members figure a thing or two out. The presentation is five to six minutes long.
Great

Group members are well prepared, well organized, and engaging. The presentation is five to six minutes long.
Report
25 %

How does your report look?
Poor

One or more sections are missing and/or the report looks as though minimal effort was invested into it, meaning that each section only includes a sentence or two.
Fair

The report may be missing one of the parts, the problem statement, a materials list, a detailed description of the planning and development process, and a conclusion, or all of the sections are severely lacking in content.
Good

The report includes all parts, the problem statement, a materials list, a detailed description of the planning and development process, and a conclusion. Not all the parts from one or two sections are adequately described, but overall, mostly all the bases are covered.
Great

The report includes all parts, the problem statement, a materials list, a detailed description of the planning and development process, and a conclusion. Everything is thorough and well explained.
Math
30 %

How did your calculations look?
Poor

Many the questions regarding the specs of the heat engine in the handout are not attempted, and/or there is an egregious number of errors made, and/or no work is shown.
Fair

Almost all of the questions regarding the specs of the heat engine in the handout are calculated and answered. The answers are mostly correct. There may be a few errors or minor missing work.
Good

All of the questions regarding the specs of the heat engine in the handout are calculated and answered, with work adequately shown. There may be a small error or two, or one or two problems could use more work.
Great

All of the questions regarding the specs of the heat engine in the handout are calculated and answered correctly, with work adequately shown.
Presentability
10 %

Did your report look professional?
Poor

The report was sloppy, thoroughly disorganized, and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.
Fair

The report was mostly organized, although a tiny bit sloppy. There was a noticeable amount of spelling and grammatical errors.
