Gummy Bear Atoms
	Needs Improvement 0 pts	Fair 5 pts	Good 15 pts	Exemplary 25 pts
Atom Activity Worksheet	Needs Improvement not included	Fair sloppy, messy, incomplete	Good complete, but difficult to read	Exemplary All information is included. Neat and easy to read.
Atom Model	Needs Improvement Missing three or more of the following components: - positive labels - negative labels - neutral labels - electrons - protons - neutrons Model is messy, incomplete, and labels are difficult to read.	Fair Missing two of the following components: - positive labels - negative labels - neutral labels - electrons - protons - neutrons Model is a bit messy and labels are difficult to read.	Good Missing one of the following components: - positive labels - negative labels - neutral labels - electrons - protons - neutrons Model could be neater.	Exemplary All components are included. Model is neat and labeled correctly.
Atom Model Alteration	Needs Improvement We ate our additional materials (i.e.: gummy bears) and did not build a new model.	Fair A new Atom was identified with the following components: - Named correctly. - Correct number of components (protons, electrons, neutrons). - Correct charge identified ...but no model was built.	Good A new Atom model was completed using additional materials...but, missing one of the following components: - Named correctly. - Correct number of components (protons, electrons, neutrons). - Correct charge identified	Exemplary A new Atom model was completed using additional materials... - Named correctly. - Correct number of components (protons, electrons, neutrons). - Correct charge identified
Collaboration	Needs Improvement Student did not work well with lab partners. Did not take lab seriously. Mishandling of materials. May have been asked to leave.	Fair Somewhat collaborative. Allowed others to take the lead. Behavior addressed, but improved.	Good Collaborative and worked well with others. Slight behavior modifications necessary, but not disruptive to other groups.	Exemplary Collaborative, worked well with lab partners. Good use of time.
