iRubric: Rubberband Racer rubric

Shows limited or no understanding of accelerated motion or mechanical energy
Unable to identify changing velocity and does not address energy transformation. Very litle understanding of kinematics, forces and energy shown.

Shows some understanding of the required scientific knowledge. Rudimentary model of accelerated motion. Identification of energy transformation. Verbal, mathematical &/or graphical model of motion weak. Partial understanding of kinematics, forces and energy shown.
Final deliverables are incomplete or reflect misunderstanding.

Models accelerated motion verbally, graphically and mathematically. Identifies and quantifies energy transformation.
There may be minor errors.
Final deliverables sufficiently address all components presented in the task. Full understanding is clear.

Shows complete understanding of the required scientific knowledge of kinematics, modeling motion with graphs and energy transformation.
Final deliverables completely address all components presented in the task and is exemplary.

There is no explanation of model, the explanation cannot be understood or is unrelated to task
there is no use or inappropriate use of scientific terminology and notation
data incorrect, missing, incomprehensible

There is an incomplete explanation: it may not be clearly presented
There is some use of appropriate scientific representation
Relatively unclear presentation
most data presented in tables and graphs, mostly labelled correctly

There is a clear explanation
there is appropriate use of accurate scientific representation
There is efffective use of models to explain motion and energy transformation
data neatly and throughly presented

There is a clear, effective explanation, supported by kinematic/energy models
Scientific representation/vocabulary is actively used as means of communicating ideas
data neatly and throroughly presented
