	ME: Meets with Excellence 4 pts	MP: Meets Proficiency 3 pts	DP: Developing Proficiency 2 pts	WB: Well Below Proficiency 1 pts
Content Information regarding Water Cycle	ME: Meets with Excellence All stages of the water cycle are accurately labeled. Definition of all of the seven stages of the water cycle is accurate.	MP: Meets Proficiency All stages of the water cycle are accurately labeled. Definition of one or more of the seven stages of the water cycle is inaccurate.	DP: Developing Proficiency Some of the stages of the water cycle are not labeled correctly. Definition of one or more of the seven stages of the water cycle is inaccurate.	WB: Well Below Proficiency None of the stages of the water cycle are labeled correctly. No definitions of the stages of the water cycle are provided.
Content Information regarding which of Earth's spheres interact in each stage of the water cycle.	ME: Meets with Excellence The spheres involved in all of the seven stages of the water cycle are accurately identified. Information regarding how the spheres interact in every stage of the water cycle is provided in detail.	MP: Meets Proficiency The spheres involved in all of the seven stages of the water cycle are accurately identified. There is minimal information regarding how the spheres interact in every stage of the water cycle.	DP: Developing Proficiency The spheres involved in some of the seven stages of the water cycle are not accurately identified. There is inaccurate information regarding how the spheres interact in ever stage of the water cycle.	WB: Well Below Proficiency There is no information regarding which spheres interact in any of the stages of the water cycle.
Content Scientific Terminology	ME: Meets with Excellence The correct scientific terminology is used to refer to every stage of the water cycle and the Earth's spheres. Other vocabulary is used appropriately.	MP: Meets Proficiency The correct scientific terminology is used to refer to most, but not all, of the stages of the water cycle and the Earth's spheres. Other vocabulary is used appropriately.	DP: Developing Proficiency Incorrect scientific terminology is used to refer to most of the stages of the water cycle and/or the Earth's spheres. Other vocabulary used is too easy or inappropriate.	WB: Well Below Proficiency No scientific terminology is included, or if some are used, they are used incorrectly. Reader has no clue as to the meaning of new scientific terminology.
Diagram Organization and Overall Presentation	ME: Meets with Excellence All content is well organized. Illustrations and text is presented neatly, and the diagram is easy to read.
