	Poor 2 pts	Fair 3 pts	Good 4 pts	Excellent 5 pts
Purpose Did the student understand the problem and successfully incorportate at least 4 simple machines?	Poor Did not understand the problem and did not successfully utilitze any of the signal transduction pathway steps required.	Fair Somewhat understood the problem. Students used less than 4 of the signal transduction pathway steps required.	Good Mostly understood the project, used all 4 signal transduction pathway steps but did not connect them effectively.	Excellent Completely understood the problem and used all 4 of the signal transduction pathway steps required
Art/labeling information Did the student produce a neat and detailed drawing to help explain the machine? Was there a description of each step?	Poor Either the Artwork or description of machine/pathway was completely missing.	Fair The artwork was sloppy and difficult to read.and/or/ labeling and description of machine/pathway was not well detailed.	Good Some effort was put into the artwork but the labeling was incorrect or unclear.	Excellent Artwork is neat and detailed. The labeling of each part of the machine/pathway was accurate and clear.
Time How long did the machine take to perform the task?	Poor Machine took 5 seconds or less to complete the task.	Fair Machine took between 5 and 7 seconds to complete the task.	Good Machine took less than 10 seconds but more than 7 to complete the task.	Excellent Machine took 10 seconds or more to complete the task.
Product Did the students produce a workable device that reflected their design?	Poor The device does not work and the desired outcome is not obtainable without restructuring the entire machine.	Fair The device could actually work and complete the desired outcome with a few major alterations.	Good The device could actually work and complete the descired outcome with a few alterations.	Excellent The device produced actually worked and completed the desired outcome.
