	Excellent 4 pts	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
Catapult Performance	Excellent The mechanism proved to be very adaptable and extremely successful in ALL challenges.	Good The mechanism proved to be very adaptable and extremely successful in MOST challenges.	Fair The mechanism proved to be very adaptable and extremely successful in SOME challenges, but more time could have been put into the design process to make it more adaptable.	Poor Mechanism failed to be able to adapt to a variety of challenges.
Catapult Construction	Excellent Catapult is built well and uses all materials in a innovative and unique way.	Good Catapult is built well.	Fair Construction could have been slightly refined to make a better, more versatile mechanism.	Poor Catapult construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong attractive mechanism
21st Century Skills	Excellent The 4 C's were utilized throughout the entire design/build process and the group worked like a fine oiled machine.	Good The group demonstrated the importance of the 4 C's throughout the project.	Fair The group worked ok together and accomplished the task, but could on the 4 C's a little more when in a group next time.	Poor The group had a tough time communicating, collaborating, thinking creatively and critically throughout the design/build process.
Scientific Inquiry Knowledge	Excellent Group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles and the scientific method during the construction process.	Good Group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles and the scientific method during the construction process.	Fair Group members indicate some understanding of scientific principles and the scientific method during the construction process.	Poor Group members do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles or the scientific method during the construction process.
Records and Data	Excellent Records and data provides a complete record of planning construction testing, modifications, reasons for modifications, reflections about strategies used and results.	Good Records and data provides a complete record of planning construction testing, modifications, reasons for modifications	Fair Records and data provide some details about the planning, construction, testing, and modifications.
