Distinguishing Models and Objects	Poor Can tell the difference between an object and a model.	Fair Can tell the difference between an object and a model. Has difficulty comparing different models for common features and differences.	Good Distinguish between a model and the actual object, process, and/or events the model represents.  Compare models to identify common features and differences.	Mastery Distinguish between a model and the actual object, process, and/or events the model represents. Understands how a model relates to an actual phenomena it represents.  Compare models to identify common features and differences.
Models in Relation to Science	Poor Can do the experiment but only sees it as an activity with no relevance to science.	Fair Can use a model to get results but has difficulty relating to real world phenomena.	Good Develop or use a model to represent amounts, relationships, relative scales (bigger, smaller), and/or patterns in the natural and designed world(s).	Mastery Develop and/or use a model to represent amounts, relationships, relative scales (bigger, smaller), and/or patterns in the natural and designed world(s).
Making Models	Poor Needs teacher and/or student guidance to construct any type of model.	Fair Can create a model but does not take in to account prior knowledge/evidence/data.	Good Develop a simple model based on evidence to represent a proposed object or tool.	Mastery Effectively develop and test a model based on evidence.
