Engaging Scenario: Periodic Table Game Rubric

Student must design a game that tests their peers' knowledge of atomic structure and the design of the periodic table. Student may design their game to simulate a game that already exists, or, may make up their own. Student must include a board, questions, and a package that is visually appealing and accurate in its information.

Engaging Scenario:
	Below Expectations (Beginning) 1 pts	Working Toward Expectations (Progressing) 2 pts	Meets Expectations (Goal) 3 pts	Exceeds Expectations (Advanced or Exemplary) 4 pts
Game Questions	Below Expectations Questions demonstrate little knowledge of the design and trends of the periodic table. *No questions written gets zero points.	Working Toward Expectations Questions demonstrate limited knowledge of design and trends of the periodic table.	Meets Expectations Questions demonstrate accurate knowledge of how to read each box of the periodic table, location and characteristics of metals, non-metals and metalloids, and number of valence electrons of each group.	Exceeds Expectations Questions demonstrate knowledge of goal concepts plus reactivity of each group, energy levels of elements in each period.
Game Board and Pieces	Below Expectations Design of game board is not well thought out, has little visual appeal and shows little or no correlation to the periodic table. *No board submitted or a board from another game gets zero points.	Working Toward Expectations The design of game board is general and has visual appeal or is somewhat related to the science content but not very visually appealing. Or, game may be somewhat appealing but missing pieces to play the game.	Meets Expectations Game board is well designed and neat, visually appealing and related to the periodic table and the elements. Contains all necessary pieces to play the game.	Exceeds Expectations Has all goal criteria plus: The game board shows advanced effort in making it either relate to the periodic table and the elements or in its creativity or professionalism.
Rules	Below Expectations The game is difficult if not impossible to play because rules were not well thought out or well written. *No rules written gets zero points	Working Toward Expectations The game is difficult to play, but with some explanation or improvisation from designer it can be done.	Meets Expectations The game is easy to play because the rules are well thought out and well written. The player may have had to ask one or two questions.	Exceeds Expectations Game is fun to play, creative, or innovative in design. Rules are well thought out and so well written that the player did not need to ask any questions to play the game.
Participation in Playing Games.	Below Expectations Student was minimally engaged in playing games. Students could answer very few of opponent's questions, given that those questions were valid. *No Participation in playing and making game gets zero points	Working Toward Expectations Student was engaged some of the time in the playing of the games. Student could answer some of opponent's questions, given that those questions were valid.	Meets Expectations Student was engaged most of the time in the playing of the games. Student could answer most of opponent's questions, given that those questions were valid.	Exceeds Expectations Student was engaged all of the time in the playing of the games. Student could answer all of opponent's questions, given that those questions were valid.
Effort	Below Expectations Very little effort was put forth toward making a quality game. *No game submitted gets a zero	Working Toward Expectations Some effort put forth toward making a quality game, but there was much more the student could have done.	Meets Expectations Good effort was put forth toward making a quality game. Student satisfied all requirements.	Exceeds Expectations Effort put forth toward making a quality game was exceeded. The game turned out to be something that could be brought to market!
Grade	Below Expectations 5=55 4=45 3=35 2=25 1=15 0=0	Working Toward Expectations 10=70 9=67 8=64 7=61 6=58	Meets Expectations 15=85 14=82 13=79 12=76 11=73	Exceeds Expectations 20=100 19=97 18=94 17=91 16=88
