Students will draw a plan that will demonstrate at least 3 transfers of energy. Rubric Code: U2324CC By sflick Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Science Type: Project Grade Levels: 6-8

Rube Goldberg Device (Systems in Action)
	Excellent 10 pts	Good 8 pts	Fair 6 pts	Poor 4 pts
Design Process (Initiating & Planning)	Excellent The drawing thoroughly includes; -3 or more detailed and labelled simple machines that result in a task being performed -all of the supplies and materials needed along with who is responsible for collecting them -a prediction & justification of which forces will act upon the moving parts	Good The drawing effectively includes; -3 detailed and labelled simple machines that result in a task being performed -most of the supplies and materials needed along with who is responsible for collecting them -a prediction & justification of which forces will act upon the moving parts	Fair The drawing shows; -1-2 detailed and labelled simple machines that result in a task being performed -some of the supplies needed -a simple prediction of which forces will act upon the moving parts	Poor The drawing shows, in a limited way; -1-2 simple machines that result in a task being performed -some of the supplies needed -a simple prediction of which forces will act upon the moving parts (or no prediction is included)
Simple Machines (Performing & Recording)	Excellent The Rube Goldberg device includes; -3 or more simple machines that work as planned, without human interference	Good The Rube Goldberg device includes; -3 simple machines that work as planned, without human interference	Fair The Rube Goldberg device includes; -2 simple machines that works, with or without human interference	Poor The Rube Goldberg device includes; -1 simple machine that works, with or without human interference
Problem Solving (Analyzing & Interpreting)	Excellent Students can thoroughly; -identify and explain what changes could be made to the design or building process to improve the device and give reasons for these changes	Good Students can effectively; -identify and explain what changes could be made to the design or building process to improve the device and give reasons for these changes	Fair Students can, with some effectiveness; -identify and explain what changes could be made to the design or building process to improve the device and give reasons for these changes	Poor Students can, with limited effectiveness; -identify and explain what changes could be made to the design or building process to improve the device
