iRubric: Rules of Forces and Motion Rubric

Students participated minimally in class discussions; were unfocused and did not participate in their group experiments; were unable to follow directions without outside assistance; and were unable to demonstrate a basic understanding of the effects friction, gravity, and mass have on motion and speed.

Students were somewhat engaged in class discussions; were somewhat focused and participated in their experiment groups; followed directions for the most part and successfully completed the experiments with little outside assistance; and were able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the effects friction, gravity, and mass have on motion and speed.

Students were highly engaged in class discussions; were highly focused and worked well in their experiment groups; followed directions well and successfully completed the experiments; and were able to demonstrate a solid understanding of the effects friction, gravity, and mass have on motion and speed.
