	Does not meet expectations 0 pts	Approaching expectations 1 pts	Minimally meets expectations 2 pts	Meets expectations 3 pts	Exceeds expectations 4 pts
Design/Drawing	Does not meet expectations Students did not design anything related to the task.	Approaching expectations Student's design was messy, unlabeled and unclear. A series circuit was drawn.	Minimally meets expectations Student's design contained some labels and a working series circuit was drawn. A parallel circuit was attempted.	Meets expectations Student's design was labelled clearly. It achieved its main purpose of designing a working circuit. Both Parallel and series circuits drawn.	Exceeds expectations Student's design was thorough and clearly labelled. The student also came up with an original design that was an innovative approach to the task. Both Series and Parallel circuits clearly drawn.
Making: Operation	Does not meet expectations No wiring included in the device or no device constructed.	Approaching expectations Wiring does not work.	Minimally meets expectations Wiring either works only on series circuit or is working only on part of the parallel circuit.	Meets expectations Wiring is complete and working for both series and parallel circuits.	Exceeds expectations Wiring is complete, working, and tidy. The student went above and beyond and included a working switch and different resistors.
Making: The circuit	Does not meet expectations No attempt at a working circuit.	Approaching expectations Series circuit is attempted and with support is completed.	Minimally meets expectations Series circuit is completed and with support, a parallel circuit is completed.	Meets expectations Device contains a simple circuit covering both series and parallel components.	Exceeds expectations Device contains a series and parallel circuit. The device is controlled by one or more switch/es.
