Race Car Race Car Students will build a car from any materials with a total mass restriction of 350g (approx. 12ounces) . Your car should be able to compete in a race against cars made by other students. No store bought models, kits may be used. The student should construct the majority of the car using raw materials. The car will travel down a ramp and measured for kinematic and dynamic variables. Keep in mind: weight, gravity, friction, speed, velocity, and momentum. Rubric Code: UX69748 By izifundo Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Science Type: Project Grade Levels: 6-8

Race Car
	Poor 1 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 5 pts
Construction 25 %	Poor Store bought materials were added. There was little scientific thought used in the construction. Over mass limit 350g	Good Used the materials required. The construction does have scientific thought. Met the mass limit 350g or less)	Excellent Used the materials required. The construction does have scientific thought expressed clearly through the parts on the car. Met the mass limit 350g or less)
Neatness 10 %	Poor Does not have the shape of a car. Construction is poor. Materials or glue, tape is messy and excessive.	Good Does have a car appearance. Frame materials are visible. Materials and glue/tape are cut well and used in a manner that looks mostly clean and functional.	Excellent Well designed, like a car. no construction materials are visible. Well made car with clean and functional parts.
Creativity 15 %	Poor No paint or other materials to cover the basic materials of the car.	Good Some paint and other materials used to cover the basic materials of the car.	Excellent The car is personal and finished, with no basic materials visible. Is presented in a sharp and/or a "theme" manner.
Scientific Testing 30 %	Poor No tests were collected or recorded.	Good During testing most variables were collected, then recorded in a Table. Proper formulas and calculations are shown to determine: Velocity, Acceleration, Net Force, Momentum.	Excellent Student tested for speed, velocity, acceleration, distance, and weight.
Design 20 %	Poor More than half of the design items required were missing. Not presented in a neat and orderly fashion	Good Design included most but not all of the following items: Materials list Bar Scale & Ratio Metric Units Topview & Sideview Drawings show all car parts Dimensions & Measurements Design is fairly neat and mostly accurate to the final product (car).	Excellent Design included all of the following items: Materials list Bar Scale & Ratio Metric Units Topview & Sideview Drawings show all car parts Dimensions & Measurements Design is neatly done on graph paper and accurate to the final product (car).
