	Below Proficient 1 pts	Approaching Proficiency 2 pts	Proficient 3 pts
Nuclear Reactions your project includes the nuclear reactions used in your nuclear application	Below Proficient No nuclear reactions are included.	Approaching Proficiency Nuclear reactions are included, but you do not describe them in your presentation.	Proficient Nuclear reactions are included; and are explained pictorially in your presentation.
Nuclear Application you clearly describe how your nuclear application is is used	Below Proficient You poorly communicate how your nuclear application is used including a lack of information or unreliable resources.	Approaching Proficiency You clearly communicate how your nuclear application is used with some supporting details and reliable resources.	Proficient You clearly and creatively communicate how your nuclear application is used in an engage, in depth presentation with several supporting details and reliable resources.
History you include a historical perspective on the development of your nuclear application, including societal pressures and scientific discoveries	Below Proficient You do little to provide a historical perspective, including both the societal interactions with science, the scientific discoveries, and the scientists that led to the development and use of your nuclear application	Approaching Proficiency You provide a historical perspective, including both the societal interactions with science, the scientific discoveries, and the scientists that led to the development and use of your nuclear application	Proficient You seamlessly use a historical perspective to tell the story of the development of your nuclear application in terms of societal needs, scientific discoveries, and the work of specific scientists
Point of view Your project clearly states your point of view on the use of your nuclear application	Below Proficient Your opinions are unclear or unsupported.	Approaching Proficiency Your point of view is consistent, but biased, due to a lack of resources, flawed logic, or insufficient information OR You present both the pros and cons of the use of your nuclear application, but you do not include your personal conclusions on the use of your nuclear application.	Proficient Your point of view is consistent, you present both the pros and cons, but clearly communicate you conclusions on the safe use of your nuclear application based on evidence from a variety of sources.
Research Research Record keeping sheet is included, or completed using a virtual platfrom	Below Proficient You did little to know research to add to your group's project	Approaching Proficiency You did a moderate amount of research but you lack a variety of sources or you used unreliable resources.
