Atom and Molecule Model Enter rubric description
	Poor 5 pts	Fair 10 pts	Good 15 pts	Exemplary 20 pts
Atom Model 20 pts One atom that shows protons, neutrons, and electrons.	Poor Atomic Model is inaccurate. There are missing protons, electrons, and/or neutrons. Masses of the subatomic models do not correlate. There are not enough or too many orbitals. 2-8-8 rule has not been followed.	Fair Atomic Model is missing a proton, neutron or electron. Most of the masses correlate. Orbitals are correct. 2-8-8 rule has not been followed. Subatomic particles are not in correct places.	Good Atomic Model 1 missing number of protons, neutrons, or electrons. Masses correlate. Orbitals are correct. 2-8-8 rule has been followed.Subatomic particles are in the correct places.	Exemplary Atomic model is perfect. Correct number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They are correctly placed. The orbitals are correct. the 2-8-8 rule has been followed.
Information Presentation 20 pts Answer and expand knowledge on atom chosen by answering questions and extending learning.	Poor Poor details about element were found and given, punctuation/spelling errors and even missing sentences/unanswered questions were turned in. Time limit was not met, or was met, but student was incapable of answering with knowledge of their element.	Fair Not all questions were answered and to the amount/level asked. Punctuation and spelling errors are more common than not, and presentation was too short (under 2 minutes) and/or lacked facts.	Good All questions were answered but lack number specified or punctuation errors. Information given is fairly common knowledge or did not have a prepared presentation for the class.	Exemplary All questions were answered in full sentences (with correct punctuation and spelling) , answers were not common knowledge and show student went above and beyond to learn about element chosen. Presented to class in a clear way and took up appropriate amount of time (2-5 minutes)
Creativity 20 pts Materials used need to be original. Get creative!	Poor Materials aren't creative.	Fair Materials aren't very creative.	Good Materials are creative, but not very original.	Exemplary Materials are inventive and original!
Key and Label 20 pts Please include a key and label for your atom and your molecule.	Poor No key or label for atom or molecule.	Fair Keys for both atom and molecule, but no labels. (or vice versa) Information provided does not match-up perfectly with the models.	Good Keys and labels are there, but contain 1 piece of incorrect information.	Exemplary Keys and labels are there and all information matches the atom and molecule models.
Overall Apperance 20 pts Structure is made of sturdy materials and looks clean and well-made.	Poor Materials are flimsy and falling apart. Models look thrown together quickly. Does not seem very organized.	Fair Materials are OK, but could use more support or sturdiness. Model is just a tiny bit messy.	Good Materials are sturdy, but models look slightly messy.	Exemplary Materials are sturdy and models are extremely organized and clean looking.
