Science 4.4 Plant Anatomy and Life Processes
	Advanced (N/A)	Beyond (N/A)	Competent (N/A)	Not Yet Competent (N/A)
Structures Identify leaves, stem, flower, and roots.	Advanced Using diagrams and plant specimens, students identified all 4 parts and discribed the function of each.	Beyond Identified 3 parts.	Competent Identified 2 parts.	Not Yet Competent Identified 1 part.
Photosynthesis Draw and orally describe the photosynthetic process using the following "ingredients": sunlight, chlorophyll, water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and glucose.	Advanced Drew and properly described the photosynthetic process using all 6 ingredients.	Beyond Drew and properly described the photosynthetic process using 4-5 ingredients.	Competent Drew and properly described the photosynthetic process using 3 ingredients.	Not Yet Competent Drew and properly described the photosynthetic process using less than 3 ingredients.
Seed Germination Germinate seeds in a petri dish, then draw, label and discuss the developing seed, embryo and leaves. Define the term dormancy and explain what a seed needs to germinate (warmth, moisture, and appropriate environment).	Advanced Identified all parts of a seed during the germination process. Accurate explanation of dormancy and the 3 things a seed needs to germinate.	Beyond Identified at least 2 parts of a seed during the germination process. Nearly accurate explanation of dormancy and the 3 things a seed needs to germinate.	Competent Identified at least 1 part of a seed during the germination process. Basic explanation of dormancy and the 3 things a seed needs to germinate.	Not Yet Competent Inaccurate identification of the parts of a seed during the germination process. Inaccurate explanation of dormancy and the 3 things a seed needs to germinate.
