has a clear objective and a tested solution.
b. The student(s) have a well-designed plan and data collection method The student can
explain his/her reasoning behind the processes. The student(s) used multiple trials in his/her
design to produce valid results
c. Are variables and controls defined, appropriate and complete? Does the student explain
why these particular variables and co
Developing

Major requirements of the assignment is missing. It may or not may not include one or more components. Topic coverage is either missing or is so inadequate that only minimal effort to find and present relevant information is shown.
Meets Expectations

Met MOST requirements of the assignment. Coverage of this topic includes all required aspects and is presented in a standard manner showing good research skills and indicating a good understanding of the topic.
Exemplary

Met ALL requirements of the assignment The topic, which is covered completely and in appropriate detail, shows especially strong research skills and indicates very good understanding.
Student Score
Analysis of Data &Conclusions
5 pts

a. There evidence of data collection and/or multiple trials that support the student’s analysis
and conclusions. There is adequate data to support the student’s conclusions.
b. the student can explain why certain results were (or were not) achieved, and why they
reached their conclusions.
c. Is the student able to thoroughly explain the project, understand the limitations of his/her
research and provide possible ideas for furthering the research?
Developing

Major requirements - one or more components- of the assignment is missing. Topic coverage is either missing or is inadequate. The analysis and conclusions are presented in a fair manner - display little to no coherent, sequence of thought and provide minimal evidence to support the claim. Not too informative and lacking in details.
Meets Expectations

Met MOST requirements of the assignment.
The analysis and conclusions are presented in an good manner - display modest coherent, sequence of thought and provide evidence to support claims Informative and detailed.
Exemplary

Met ALL requirements of the assignment
The analysis and conclusions are presented in an exceptional manner - display an exceptionally coherent, sequence of thought and provide significant evidence to support claims. Informative, detailed and captures the interest of the viewer.

Project done and managed independently.
Exemplary

Creativity, originality and enthusiasm evident in most parts of the project - from topic selection, thoroughness of the research, design of experiment/engineering solution, trials, analysis and conclusion and reflection.
(If adapted from another source - science buddies, modifications demonstrate the above)
Project done and managed independently.
Student Score
Overall Impression
5 pts

a. The project was “sound” in design and demonstrated student independence.
b. The student comprehends the project – its limitations and how it utilized scientific
process, technology, engineering and math skills
