DNA replication stop motion animation

Students will reconstruct the processes of DNA replication. All steps in replication must be labeled correctly and identifiable. Software will be used to make a digital stop motion animation (similar to a digital flipbook). Students may choose their own materials for the reconstruction.

DNA replication stop motion
	Exceptional 5 pts	Skilled 4 pts	Proficient 3 pts	Developing 2 pts	Inadequate 1 pts
Construction / Materials 5 pts	Exceptional Appropriate materials were selected and creatively modified in ways that made them even better. Student went above and beyond.	Skilled Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better.	Proficient Appropriate materials were selected and modified to create a model.	Developing Some appropriate materials were selected but minimal effort was applied to create structure.	Inadequate Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly.
Quality of work 5 pts	Exceptional Great care taken in reconstruction process so that the structure is neat, attractive and follows the process accurately.	Skilled Reconstruction was careful and accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been refined for a more attractive product.	Proficient Reconstruction accurately followed the process, but 3-4 details could have been refined for a more attractive product.	Developing Reconstruction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong or attractive product	Inadequate Reconstruction appears almost non-existent. Student supplied a product that has no organization or evidence of the process.
Labeling and stages 5 pts	Exceptional Included all required stages DNA replication. Labels were applied in correct places.	Skilled Included most required aspects of DNA replication (1 label left out). Can still see specific structures and general process.	Proficient Included some of the required aspects of DNA replication (2-3 labels left out). Can still see the general process.	Developing Included very few required aspects of DNA replication (4-5 labels left out). Little recognizable steps for DNA replication.	Inadequate Included almost no required aspects of DNA replication (no labels present). Product presented makes it hard to recognize the steps of DNA replication.
Accuracy 5 pts	Exceptional All aspects of DNA replication are completed with no mistakes. Structure and chromosome pairing, etc. are accurate.	Skilled All aspects of DNA replication are completed with 1 mistake in structure and process, etc.	Proficient All aspects of DNA replication are completed with 2-3 mistakes in structure and process, etc.	Developing All aspects of DNA replication are completed with 4-5 mistakes in structure and process, etc.	Inadequate All aspects of DNA replication are completed with more than 5 mistakes in structure and process, etc.
Presentation 5 pts	Exceptional Able to completely identity each step of DNA replication. Movie is smooth, attractive, and attention is paid to details.	Skilled Able to completely identity each step of DNA replication. Movie is blurry but attractive, little attention is paid to details.	Proficient Some steps of DNA replication are hard to identify. Movie is blurry and unattractive.	Developing Most steps of DNA replication are hard to identify. Movie is unclear, unattractive, and there is evidence of little effort.	Inadequate Unable to accurately identify DNA replication. Movie shows no effort.
