eCL Bi11 - The Evolution of Barbellus eCL Bi11 - C18 - Classification Rubric You are a world famous paleontologist and unearthed barbell-shaped named “Barbellus.” You find it has undergone interesting evolutionary changes. Use this resource http://kisdwebs.katyisd.org/campuses/CRHS/teacherweb/biologyacademic/Lists/Calendar/Attachments/537/Evolution%20of%20Barbellus-%20Diagram%20Guide.pdf Use relative position to determine Barbellus' likely evolutionary of various lines Create a short video or report. Take your time and explain and justifying your design. Rubric Code: TAC688 By Jerry_Bleecker Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Biology Type: Project Grade Levels: 9-12

The Evolution of Barbellus
	Poor 2 pts	Fair 3 pts	Good 4 pts	Excellent 5 pts
Fossils	Poor Student does not explain how fossils form.	Fair Student explains how fossils form. Sedimentary rock layers are discussed as the source of fossils.	Good The student fully explains the fossil formation process, different types, and sedimentary rock. Index fossils are explained. Relative dating is explained Absolute dating using the concept of half-life is explained.	Excellent The student fully explains the fossil formation process, different types, and sedimentary rock. Index fossils, the fossil record, relative dating, absolute dating, and half-life are explained. The use of fossils world-wide to create a geologic timeline for the fossil record is discussed.
Evolutionary Path Explanation	Poor The student - mistakenly arranges Barbellus body forms - there are errors in the arrangement based on relative dating evidence provided	Fair The student provides - arranges Barbellus body forms into logical and probably arrangements on paper.	Good The student provides a - visual background - arranges Barbellus body forms into logical and probably arrangements - provides a written or narrated justification/explanation for the evolutionary scheme developed.	Excellent The student provides a -provides missing links and explains why the links might not have been discovered - visual background - arranges Barbellus body forms into logical and probably arrangements - provides a written or narrated justification/explanation for the evolutionary scheme developed.
Presentation	Poor Poor formatting Minimal effort put into presentation, editing, revision.	Fair Some revisions required Format is presentable, showing pride in the work	Good The format and presentation are good with few revisions needed.	Excellent The work is exemplary and creative No revisions required.
