Plant/Animal Cell Model
	Below Grade Level (N/A)	Approaching Grade Level (N/A)	At Grade Level (N/A)	Above Grade Level (N/A)
Cell Structure 10 pts Animal: Cell Membrane, Nucleus, Rough E.R., Smooth E.R., Golgi Body, Vacuoles, Mitochondria, Centrioles, Lysosomes, Ribosomes Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton Plant: Cell Membrane, Cell Membrane, Chloroplasts, Nucleus, Rough E.R., Smooth E.R., Golgi Body, Vacuole, Mitochondria, Lysosomes, Ribosomes Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton	Below Grade Level Inaccurate representation. Not all cell parts are represented and/or are not a representaion of its part.	Approaching Grade Level Representation of cell not fully accurate. Not all cell parts are represented or are not clearly represented. Some organelles are missing or not present on the cell poster.	At Grade Level Mostly accurate representation of cell . Cell parts are clear and all represented. All organelles are present and represented on the cell poster.	Above Grade Level Highly accurate representation of cell. Cell parts are very clearly and accurately represented. All organelles are present and represented on the cell poster.
Labels 5 pts	Below Grade Level Little or no labels. Numerous errors in cell part labeling.	Approaching Grade Level Missing labels or more than two spelling errors in labels of cell parts.	At Grade Level All parts are labeled appropriately with no more than two spelling errors in labels of cell parts.	Above Grade Level All parts are labeled accurately with correct spellings in labels of cell parts.
Functions 10 pts	Below Grade Level Inaccurate or no functions. Many spelling errors. Unable to read written definitions. Functions from glossary.	Approaching Grade Level Missing functions or more than three errors in definitions of cell parts. May be hard to read due to messiness. Functions from glossary.	At Grade Level All definitions are present and correct with no more than three spelling errors in the definitions of cell parts. Functions in your own words and clearly stated.	Above Grade Level All definitions are present and correct with no more than one spelling error in the definitions of cell parts. Functions in your own words and clearly stated.
Neatness 10 pts	Below Grade Level Very messy. Numerous smudges on project. Most pieces attached improperly and/or falling off. Labels are messy and difficult to read.	Approaching Grade Level Somewhat neat. Some effort in presentation and labels, but still some areas that are smudged and/or unattached. Labels are fairly neatly written.	At Grade Level Neatly attached and labeled. Few smudges on paper, and all pieces securely glued down.	Above Grade Level Extremely neatly attached and labeled. Much effort and pride in presentation. Above and beyond expectations.
Creativity/Effort 10 pts	Below Grade Level Little creativity seen in design. Problems with planning and organization. Poor use of materials.	Approaching Grade Level Shows some creativity in design. Use of materials show signs of planning and organization.	At Grade Level Creative use of materials that show very good planning, organization and hard work.	Above Grade Level Extremely creative design. Clever use of materials. Time management well used. Above and beyond expectations.
Cell History 5 pts	Below Grade Level Inaccurate or no cell history included.	Approaching Grade Level Some understanding of cell history. (Looks like a direct copy of my notes.)	At Grade Level Very good understanding of cell history. (Able to verbally describe the discovery of cells in your own words.)	Above Grade Level Excellent understanding of cell structure. Went above and beyond my notes and presented extra information learned elsewhere. (Able to verbally describe the discovery of cells in your own words.)
