Commendable Structure includes all of the required elements of an excellent score EXCEPT one. Students provided a short explanation of how to calculate the speed using time and distance from three trial runs.	Excellent Structure includes all of the required elements of an excellent score. Students provided a short explanation of how to calculate the speed using time and distance from three trial runs.
Roller Coaster	Poor Using only approved materials, students are not able to keep marble on track during trial.	Fair Using only approved materials, students are able to have the marble stay on track part of the time.	Good Using only approved materials, students are able to have one consecutive trial in which the marble stays on track.	Commendable Using only approved materials, students are able to have two consecutive trials in which the marble stays on the track.	Excellent Using only approved materials, students are able to have three consecutive trials in which the marble stays on the track.
Presentation of Project	Poor No members participated in the explanation of WHY the structure was built in relation to concepts, and could relate the concepts to the project.	Fair Only one member participated in the explanation of WHY the structure was built in relation to concepts, and could relate the concepts to the project.	Good Some group members participated in the explanation of WHY the structure was built in relation to concepts, and could relate the concepts to the project.	Commendable All groups members participated in the explanation of WHY the structure was built in relation to concepts, and could relate the concepts to the project.	Excellent All groups members participated in a weel-thought out and detailed explanation of WHY the structure was built in relation to concepts, and could relate the concepts to the project.
Participation in project	Poor Student gave less than 50% and did not fully participate in class and did not bring in materials as discussed by the group when they were due.	Fair Student gave more than 50% but less than 70% and often did not fully participated in class and did not bring in materials as discussed by the group when they were due.	Good Student gave 70% and sometimes fully participated in class and brought in materials as discussed by the group when they were due.	Commendable Student gave 80% and fully participated in class and brought in materials as discussed by the group when they were due.	Excellent Student gave 100% and fully participated in class and brought in materials as discussed by the group when they were due.
