Task 3 - Simple Electronic Circuit A simple electronic circuit that introduced the students to the theory and practical application of: Soldering; resistor/s; insulation; batteries; wiring; hot-glue construction and aesthetics.
	Poor Little evidence of application of skill and theory. Further application and development required. 1 pts	Progressing Some evidence of application of skill and theory. Consolidation required. 2 pts	Satisfactory Satisfactory application of skill and theory. 3 pts	Good Good application of skill and theory. 4 pts	Excellent Above average application of skill and theory. 5 pts
Overall finished product Has the cube been successfuly completed? Should the LED switch on? Has it been hot-glued together? How does it look?	Poor The cube has not been completed. Many seams/joints missing hot-glue. The LED does NOT switch on. Hot-glue everywhere.	Progressing Cube is missing a component, but the MAJORITY has been completed. A seam/joint is missing hot-glue. The LED does NOT switch on. A lot of mis-applied hot-glue. (Minimum 3 out of 4 for this level of achievement).	Satisfactory A cube has been constructed. Hot-glue has been applied to all seams/joints. LED switches on! Satisfactory aesthetics (Minimum 3 out of 4 for this level of achievement).	Good A cube has been constructed. Hot-glue has been applied to all seams/joints. LED switches on! GOOD aesthetics (Minimum 3 out of 4 for this level of achievement).	Excellent A cube has been constructed. Hot-glue has been applied to all seams/joints. LED switches on! EXCELLENT aesthetics (Minimum 3 out of 4 for this level of achievement).
Soldering Are all the connections soldered properly? Are the connections solid? Is the soldered joint neat and tidy?	Poor More than one connection missing solder. Either a little too much or a little too little solder applied to the majority of joints. There are many "blobby" soldered joints. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Progressing A connection is missing solder. Either a little too much or a little too little solder applied to a joint. There is a "blobby" soldered joint. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Satisfactory All connections have been soldered. All connections have a satisfactory level of solder applied. The soldered joints are neat and tidy. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Good All connections have been soldered. All connections have a satisfactory level of solder applied. The soldered joints are neat and tidy. LITTLE extra solder present. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Excellent All connections have been soldered. All connections have a satisfactory level of solder applied. The soldered joints are neat and tidy. NO extraneous solder present. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).
Shrink tube insulation Has shrink-tube insulation been applied to all visible soldered joints? Has the insulation been applied properly?	Poor Shrink-tube insulation missing from MAJORITY of joints.	Progressing Shrink-tube insulation missing from a VITAL joint.	Satisfactory Shrink-tube insulation has been applied to all VITAL joints.	Good	Excellent
Completion of circuit Is there evidence of a completed circuit? Is there evidence the student tried to reinforce the cell battery connection? Does the LED actually work?	Poor A visual inspection reveals: Many potential breaks in the circuit. The cell battery has no reinforement.. The LED does NOT switch on. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Progressing A visual inspection reveals: A potential break in the circuit. The cell battery has not been adequatley reinforced. The LED does NOT switch on. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Satisfactory A visual inspection reveals: A completed circuit. A reinfocred cell battery - blue tape and paperclip. The LED switches on. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Good	Excellent
Hot glue construction Is the seams/joins of the cube strong? Has the hot-glue been applied neatly?	Poor Hot-glue missing from MANY seams/joints. Cube construction is VERY weak and easy to break and/or not completed. Large amounts of hot-glue misapplied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Progressing Hot-glue missing from a seam/joint. Cube construction is weak and easy to break. Amounts of hot-glue misapplied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Satisfactory Hot-glue has been applied to all seams. Cube construction is stable. Little hot-glue misapplied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Good Hot-glue has been applied to all seams. Cube construction is VERY stable. NO hot-glue misapplied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Excellent
Aesthetic finish of cube Has the student applied a "pop-stick" finish to the cube? Does the "pop-stick" enhance the look of the cube? How does the cube look overall?	Poor The cube look a VERY messy - overall. Large amounts of hot-glue misapplied. No wooden "pop-stick" exterior applied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Progressing The cube look a little messy - overall. Amounts of hot-glue misapplied. No wooden "pop-stick" exterior applied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Satisfactory The cube looks neat and tidy - overall. Little or no extra hot-glue present. Wooden "pop-stick" exterior applied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Good The cube looks neat and tidy - overall and VISUALLY APPEALLING. NO extra hot-glue present. Wooden "pop-stick" exterior applied. (Minimum 2 out of 3 for this level of achievement).	Excellent
