A Model Planet in Our Solar System

Grade 6 is beginning a new science unit on Planets and Other Objects in Space. For our project, students will take their knowledge of our solar system and create a 3-dimensional model of the planets. The planets should be relatively proportional to each other. The planets should be clearly labeled in some way, along with the earths layers labeled. This is a project meant to not only see how students view the solar system, but to also showcase their creativity. Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. This project is worth 100 points and we will be working on the project in class due March 28th. Each student will have to present their project to the class, so they should come prepared to discuss how their 3-D solar system model was created and be able to tell facts about the planets.

A Model of One Planet
	Poor 14 pts	Good 17 pts	Excellent 20 pts
Planets are clearly labeled	Poor No labels are present, very difficult to find, or difficult to read.	Good Label is present, but they may have been difficult to find or handwriting could have been improved. Not all parts of the solar system and earths layers are present	Excellent Label is clearly present and is easy to read. Both the planets and earth's layer are present
Creativity	Poor Very little or no creativity.	Good Some thought has been put into the project.	Excellent There is a large amount of creativity being shown. Imagination has been used when designing the model.
On Time	Poor Planet was not completed on time or not completed at all.	Good Planet project was late.	Excellent Planet project was on time.
Correct style	Poor It is not in 3 dimensional form. Planets and/or earth's layers are not in the correct order	Good It is in 3 dimensional form. The planets and earth's layers are close to the correct order	Excellent The planets are in 3 dimensional form. Both planets and layers are in the correct order.
Presentaion	Poor The presentaion was not clear and did not explained how the model was created. The presentor did not tell facts about the planets.	Good The presentaion was somewhat clear and explained how the model was created. The presentor told a few facts about the planets.	Excellent The presentaion was clear and explained how the model was created. The presentor told many facts about the planets and layers of the earth.
