Hydraulic Device
	Poor 10 points (N/A)	Basic 30 (N/A)	Very Good 40 (N/A)	Outstanding 50 (N/A)
Sketch	Poor Student had a very rough sketch. Design was not labeled or did not include dimensions.	Basic Student had a basic sketch. Design was not labeled or did not include dimensions.	Very Good Student had a detailed sketch, but it was not clearly labelled.	Outstanding Student had a detailed sketch including dimensions.
Project Requirements	Poor The student has demonstrated very little or no understanding of project requirements.	Basic The project meets some of the requirements outlined in the given drawing.	Very Good The project meets most requirements outlined in the given drawing.	Outstanding The project meets requirements outlined in the specifications for design elements. The project includes innovative design features that exceed project specifications.
Construction Quality	Poor Construction was incomplete. Student did not finish the project or complete the task to match any of the descriptors for this criterion.	Basic Quality of construction needs improvement or did not meet expectations (i.e. secure joints, stability). Many details need refinement for a stronger product. Some failures during demonstration due to the quality of construction.	Very Good Quality of construction is generally consistent with expectations (i.e. secure joints, stability). The machine did not fail during the demonstration due to quality of construction.	Outstanding Quality of construction is consistent (or exceeds) expectations (i.e. secure joints, stability). Machine is designed in a robust manner so that no single part or element will fail.
Demonstration of the Project	Poor The student has demonstrated very little or no understanding of the topic. Only one point of movement is evident on the device. The device is not able to move an object from one location to another.	Basic The student has had some success in demonstrating the machine successfully. The hydraulic device demonstrates two points of movement. It is not able to move an object from one location to another.	Very Good The student demonstrates the machine successfully. There are three points of movement on the device; however, the device is not consistently able to move an object from one location to another.	Outstanding The student demonstrates the machine successfully. The hydraulic device demonstrates three points of movement and effectively moves an object from one location to another.
Presentation	Poor The student does not participate in the presentation. The student is not able to communicate how the project works.	Basic The student communicates information about the project during the demonstration, but does not use scientific vocabulary.	Very Good The student attempts to communicate scientific information using some scientific language.	Outstanding The student communicates scientific information using scientific language.
