VEHICLE OF THE FUTURE:
	Excellent 4 pts	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
COMMUNICATION/APPLICATION (SKETCHES	Excellent Communicates ideas clearly, and precisely using sketches, and written responses - The student identifies and describes the design challenge clearly and precisely.	Good Communicates ideas considerably using sketches, and written responses - The student identifies and describes the design challenge clearly.	Fair Communicates ideas somewhat using sketches, and written responses - The student identifies and describes the design challenge with some clarity.	Poor Communicates ideas in a limited fashion - The student identifies and describes the design challenge with limited clarity.
THINKING/ INQUIRY (MAKING A PLAN)	Excellent Outlines all the steps needed to complete the plan	Good Outlines most of the steps needed to complete the plan	Fair Outlines some of the steps needed to complete the plan	Poor Outlines very few of the steps needed to complete the plan
V.O.T.F. - Design Skills
	Excellent 4 pts	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
Making The Plan/Communication	Excellent The student outlines all or almost all of the steps needed to complete the plan (e,g	Good The student outlines most of the steps needed to complete the plan (e.g., includes a clear and well-labelled Pre-Construction Sketch	Fair The student outlines some of the steps needed to complete the plan (e.g., Explanation of Procedures: lists ten steps in assembling vehicle, some of which clearly link parts to their function:	Poor The student outlines a few of the steps needed to complete the plan (e.g., Thumbnail Sketches shows only cosmetic differences and omits motor, switch, and batteries;
Thinking (Identifying Need)	Excellent identifies and describes the design challenge clearly and precisely	Good identifies and describes the design challenge clearly	Fair - identifies and describes the design challenge with some clarity	Poor - identifies and describes the design challenge With limited clarity
Application (executing plan)	Excellent - uses the design process very effectively to test the vehicle and make appropriate modifications where necessary - constructs a vehicle that efficiently transfers rotational motion Into linear motion and travels a distance of one metre	Good - uses the design process effectively to test the vehicle and make appropriate modifications where necessary - constructs a vehicle that transfers rotational motion into linear motion with considerable efficiency and travels a distance of one metre	Fair - uses the design process somewhat effectively to test the vehicle and make appropriate modifications where necessary - constructs a vehicle that transfers rotational motion into linear motion with some efficiency and that mayor may not travel a distance of one metre	Poor - uses the design process in a limited way to test the vehicle and make appropriate modifications where necessary - constructs a vehicle that transfers rotational motion into linear motion with minimal efficiency and that mayor may not travel a distance of one metre
Understanding Basic Concepts	Excellent - demonstrates thorough understanding of the transformation of electrICal energy into kinetic energy in a moving vehicle - demonstrates thorough understanding of linear and rotational motion	Good - demonstrates general understanding of the transformation of electrical energy into kinetic energy in a moving vehicle - demonstrates general understanding of linear and rotational motion	Fair - demonstrates some understanding of the transformation of electrical energy into kinetic energy in a moving vehicle - demonstrates some understanding of linear and rotational motion	Poor - demonstrates limited understanding of the transformation of electrical energy into kinetic energy in a moving vehicle - demonstrates limited understanding of linear and rotational motion
Relating Sci & Tech to outside Worl	Excellent - shows extensive understanding of connections to the world outside the school, as well as their implications (e.g., environmentally friendly vehicles, advantages/ disadvantages of battery-operated vehicles)	Good - shows general understanding of connections to the world outside the school (eg., environmentally friendly vehicles, advantages/ disadvantages of battery-operated vehicles)	Fair - shows some understanding of connections to the world outside the school (e.g., environmentally friendly vehicles, advantages/disadvantages of battery-operated vehicles)	Poor - shows limited understanding of connections to the world outside the school (e.g., environmentally friendly vehicles, advantages/disadvantages of battery-operated vehicles)
