Project shows grade-level craftsmanship. Audio and visuals of recording are clear.	Excellent Project is on-time and is not only easy to understand, but also shows above grade-level workmanship and insight into information.
Visually Stunning	Poor Slides or Models are of below grade-level quality, are missing more than 2 phases, and fail to model the mechanics behind each phase.	Fair Slides or Models are of below grade-level quality, show most required phases, and model the mechanics behind each phase.	Good Slides or Models are of grade-level quality, show all required phases, and model the mechanics behind each phase.	Excellent Slides or Models are of above grade-level quality, show all required phases, and model the mechanics behind each phase in an intuitive and easy to understand manner.
Full of Information	Poor 3 or more pieces of information are missing or are innacurate.	Fair Most required information is present and accurate.	Good All required information is present and accurate.	Excellent All required information is present and accurate, and additional information provides exceptional insight into the mechanics of the Earth-Moon-Sun system.
Great at Showing the Phases of the Moon!
