	Does Not Meet 2 pts	Meets 3 pts	Exceeds 4 pts
Bounded book 2 pts Enter description	Does Not Meet Student did not provide the final product bound or in an actual book. Project was provided on notebook paper and/or just stapled together.	Meets Student provided the project bounded on notebook paper.	Exceeds Student provided the project bounded and/or in an actual book.
Cover Page 2 pts Enter description	Does Not Meet Student did not include a cover page that included the title of the project, their name, and class period.	Meets Student included a cover page, but it did not include all the components required.	Exceeds Student included a cover page and all required components.
Components 4 pts Enter description	Does Not Meet Student completed and included at least 25% of the project as outlined in the instructions	Meets Student completed and included at least 75% of the project as outlined in the instructions	Exceeds Student completed and included 100% of the project as outlined in the instructions.
Content 6 pts	Does Not Meet Student did not accurately generate "baby" based on the information given. Less than 50% of traits do not match other information provided in project.	Meets Student accurately generated "baby" based on the information given. However, less than 75% of traits do not match other information provided in project.	Exceeds Student accurately depicted "baby". All traits given match all other information provided in project.
Understanding 6 pts	Does Not Meet Student do not show full understanding of the genetics unit. Several of the traits chosen were not correctly labeled and/or punnett squares were not accurate with proper probabilities, and/or student did not show a clear understanding of mutations.	Meets Students work shows a basic level of understanding of Mendelian genetics. There are some errors in the higher level concepts, such as pedigrees, dihybrid crosses, and the sex linked traits.	Exceeds Student shows an deep level of understanding of the content. All traits, punnett squares, the pedigree, etc are completed with accuracy.
Consistency 4 pts	Does Not Meet Student was not able to complete the project where the information remained consistent throughout the project. There were several times the student switched the gender of the baby and/or the pictured traits do not align with the parent traits.	Meets Student maintained some consistency throughout the project. There were some traits expressed in baby that could not be genetically possible; however, student was able to picture baby with most of the parent traits.	Exceeds Student maintained consistency throughout the entire project. All traits of baby aligns with the parent traits, where the picture of baby is accurate.
Creativiey 1 pts	Does Not Meet Student project lacks creativity. All traits were those given in class.	Meets Student attempted to be creative. All traits given were basic and simple traits.	Exceeds Student was highly creative. Traits chosen are very unique to create a genetic varied baby.
