Cell Model Cell Model Students must create a model of a plant or animal cell that accurately represents the parts that help the cell function. Rubric Code: X2X8XA2 By willmjspence Ready to use Public Rubric Subject: Science Type: Project Grade Levels: 6-8

Plant and Animal Cell Model
	Beginning 1 pts	Progressing 2 pts	Meeting 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Cell Structure 4 pts	Beginning Inaccurate representation. Not all cell parts are represented and/or are not a representation of its part. Little or no labels. Numerous errors in cell part labeling.	Progressing Representation of cell not fully accurate. Not all cell parts are represented or are not clearly represented. Missing labels or more than two spelling errors in labels of cell parts.	Meeting Mostly accurate representation of cell. Cell parts are clear and all represented. All parts are labeled appropriately with no more than two spelling errors in labels of cell parts.	Excellent Highly accurate representation of cell. Cell parts are very clearly and accurately represented. All parts are labeled accurately with correct spellings in labels of cell parts.
Organelles 4 pts	Beginning Most (6 or more) organelles were left out of the model. No explanations given.	Progressing 4-5 organelles were left out of the models. Explanations do not cover information well enough to describe function.	Meeting 1-3 organelles were left out of the model or have size/appearance issues. Explanations of organelles appropriate (may miss a small detail)	Excellent The following organelles are all present, clearly labeled, with detailed explanations of organelle functions: Mitochondria, Nucleus, Vacuole, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Cell Wall, Chloroplasts, Ribosomes, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes
Creativity and Effort 2 pts	Beginning Problems with planning and organization. Poor use of materials. Very messy. Labels are extremely messy and difficult to read.	Progressing Shows some creativity in design. Use of materials show signs of planning and organization. Somewhat neat. Some effort in model and labels, but still some areas that are faulty. Labels are fairly neatly written.	Meeting Creative use of materials that show very good planning, organization and hard work. Neatly built and labeled.	Excellent Extremely creative design. Clever use of materials. Time management well used. Above and beyond expectations. Extremely well built and labeled.
