Science Building Insulation Project

Working in assigned teams the groups of students are going to research and develop a new type of insulation for a fictitious company. There are a total of 50 points possible, each point two points for your grade.

	Poor 4 pts	Fair 6 pts	Good 8 pts	Excellent 10 pts	Not completed 0 pts
Effectiveness of Material A line of regression will be drawn from data points taken 10 cm above hot plate. The slope measured against it weight per sq cm will give final value.	Poor It is not a good insulator and it is three times as heavy compared to regular insulation. R-13 insulation weights 7 grams/square cm.	Fair It is a good insulator but is is twice as heavy compared to regular insulation. R-13 insulation weights 7 grams/square cm.	Good It is a good insulator and it is less than twice as heavy compared to regular insulation. R-13 insulation weights 7 grams/square cm.	Excellent It is a good insulator and it is less than 1.5 times as heavy compared to regular insulation. R-13 insulation weights 7 grams/square cm.	Not completed no material was found
Model you are going to build a model demonstrating your insulation.	Poor The model was very poorly constructed and it was completed late	Fair It was completed on time, but was poorly constructed and was falling apart, or it did not adequately show the insulation that was used.	Good The model was well constructed, but was either not neat or was difficult to see the insulation that was used.	Excellent It was a very neat and well constructed model what did a very good job of showing the insulation used.	Not completed no model was constructed
Presentaation You must present your product in an attractive and effective manner.	Poor The presentation was very poorly done and it was completed late	Fair It was completed on time, but was poorly done and was unimaginative, or it did not adequately show how the insulation was tested.	Good The Presentation was well done, but was either not creative or was difficult to understand method that was used to test the insulation.	Excellent The Presentation was well done, creative and it showed method that was used to test the insulation.	Not completed no presentation was made.
Group effectiveness How effectively did the group work together. This criterion will be conglomeration of the reports and direct observation.	Poor The group was observed falling to work together for the majority of the assigned time in class. Or their scores were low every day.	Fair The group worked for about half time.	Good The group stayed on task for the majority of the week, but it took urging from the leader and the teacher.	Excellent The group stayed on task for the majority of the assigned week with minimal urging from the leader	Not completed The group did not work together well at all or did not stay on task.
Information The group must know the three types of heat conduction and identify in the presentation which type they are insulating against.	Poor The group average was between 70 - 75	Fair The group average was between 75 - 85	Good The group average was between 85 - 95	Excellent The group average was between 95 - 100	Not completed The group average for the quiz over the information was less than 70
