	Excellent 4 pts	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
Weather Log I will collect data for 5 days- morning and evening and plot on a table with all the	Excellent Chart includes all of the following: Temperature (High and Low), Place, Dew-point,Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, 24-hr Precipitation, Current Weather and Relative Humidity.	Good Chart is missing one of the criteria.	Fair Chart is missing two of the criteria.	Poor Chart is missing three or four of the criteria.
Graph I will use the data I collected on the high temp and barometric pressure and then create a graph using an X and Y axis	Excellent Includes 2 bar graphs. The title and headings for the x and y axis were entered. Column and row size were adjusted so all the data fits in the cell.	Good Includes 2 bar graph. The title and headings for the x and y axis were entered. 80% of the columns and rows were adjusted so all the data fits in the cell.	Fair Doesn't include 2 bar graphs. The title and headings for the x and y axis were not entered properly. 50% of the columns and rows were adjusted so all the data fits in the cell.	Poor Doesn't include 2 graphs. The title and headings were not entered properly. The columns and rows were not adjusted correctly so the data could fit.

Insight is demonstrated.	Good Predictions are accurate, based on patterns observed and current knowledge base. Insight is mostly demonstrated.	Fair Predictions are mostly accurate, based on patterns observed and current knowledge base. Insight is mostly demonstrated.	Poor Predictions are mostly accurate, based on patterns observed and current knowledge base. Insight is not demonstrated.
Individual Assignment Students will create a home made barometer	Excellent Barometer is in working order. labeled and the scale is marked with Millibar marks. Weather is stated for first day and scale is marked to show trend in pressure for 5 days	Good barometer is complete and labeled and scale is in millibars using millimeters. the barometer scale is not marked for entire 5 days	Fair Barometer is complete but there is little or no data to show the change in barometric pressure.	Poor Student did not complete his/her portion, Leaving out information and details.
