	Does not meet expectations 0 pts	Approaching expectations 1 pts	Minimally meets expectations 2 pts	Meets expectations 3 pts	Exceeds expectations 4 pts
Planning	Does not meet expectations No planning evident.	Approaching expectations 1-2 components of the planning were completed.	Minimally meets expectations Some components of the planning were completed.	Meets expectations Most components of the planning were completed. .	Exceeds expectations All components of the planning were completed.
Design	Does not meet expectations Students did not design anything related to the task.	Approaching expectations Student's design was messy, unlabeled and unclear. Only one view of the device was drawn.	Minimally meets expectations Student's design contained some labels and different views of the device.	Meets expectations Student's design had multiple views of the intended device and was labelled clearly. It achieved its main purpose of designing something that contained a working circuit.	Exceeds expectations Student's design was thorough with multiple views of the intended model and clear labelling. The student also came up with an original design that was an innovative approach to the task.
Making: Operation	Does not meet expectations No wiring included in the device or no device constructed.	Approaching expectations Wiring does not work.	Minimally meets expectations Wiring either works only sometimes or is working only on part of the circuit.	Meets expectations Wiring is complete and working.	Exceeds expectations Wiring is complete, working, and tidy. The student went above and beyond and included a working switch.
Making: The circuit	Does not meet expectations No circuit included in the device or no device included.	Approaching expectations	Minimally meets expectations	Meets expectations Device contains a simple circuit.	Exceeds expectations Device contains a series or parallel circuit. The device is controlled by one or more switch/es.
Making: The appearance	Does not meet expectations No device constructed.	Approaching expectations The device is very messy and carelessy constructed.	Minimally meets expectations The device is somewhat messy. Looks like it is thrown together and little thought put into the project.	Meets expectations The device looks like it was well planned and is constructed well. The device is a good size and is a good representation of the original plans and sketches.	Exceeds expectations The device was created with great care and attention and was thoroughly planned. The device reflects the original plans and sketches.
