	Level 1 (N/A)	Level 2 (N/A)	Level 3 (N/A)	Level 4 (N/A)
Appearance - finished bridge - aesthetics (the way it looks, good use of colours) -landscape (creative and looks finished) - neatness	Level 1 Bridge is not done, or is only partially completed. Not aesthetically pleasing (bridge is completed in a very messy manner, colours are put on without effort of plan, etc.) Landscape for the bridge is not done, or finished properly Lack of creativity or effort for landscape. Project is not done very neatly.	Level 2 Bridge is almost completed. Some aesthetic qualities (bridge is completed with some neatness, colours are appropriate but not used with much effort or neatness, etc.) Landscape for the bridge is done but with limited effort. Some creativity and effort for landscape can be seen. Project is presented neatly in some areas, but more time spent will have a more completed and neat overall look.	Level 3 Bridge is completed. Good aesthetic qualities (colours are appropriate and used neatly, etc.) Landscape for the bridge is has good visual appeal. Creativivity and effort can be seen in landscape design and presentation. Project is presented neatly in most areas.	Level 4 Bridge is completed. Great aesthetic qualities (colours are appropriate, found objects are used on and around the bridge to focus on details about the structure, etc.) Landscape for the bridge is very visually appealing. Effort and creativity can be seen in the landscape that matches and fits seamlessly with the bridge. Project is presented neatly in all areas, and is done very neatly.
Structure -design -use of materials (used found objects and/or popsicle sticks) -stable	Level 1 Basic bridge design (shows lack of effort and creativity) Not very good use of materials (very little found objects/popsicle sticks have been used - mostly store bought items) Bridge is very weak (did not make it to class intact, even with support of student, bridge did not stand upright)	Level 2 Beam or Arch bridge design (shows some effort and creativity) Some found objects/popsicle sticks have been used (but half of the project was completed with store bought items) Bridge is weak (made it to class intact but needed more support by student to stand upright)	Level 3 Bridge design shows creativity and effort. Good use of materials (a lot of found objects/popsicle sticks have been used to present structure. Bridge is stable and strong.	Level 4 Bridge design shows a lot of creativity and effort. Excellent use of materials Bridge is extremely stable and strong.
Oral Presentation - information was easy to understand and showed thourough knowledge of structure - strong, confident, and clear voice - information was rehearsed ahead of time -cue cards were used effectively	Level 1 Presenation was very short. Very limited information was presented about structure. Presentation was very hard to hear. Student needs to practice speaking clearly, loudly and more confidently. Information was not rehearsed ahead of time. Student stumbled through presentation and had many pauses to check notes. Cue cards were not made.	Level 2 Presenation was short. Limited information was presented about structure, but was not sufficient enough to show thorough understanding of the structure. Presentation was somewhat hard to hear. Student needs to practice speaking clearly, loudly and more confidently. Student stumbled through some parts of the presentation and had many pauses to check notes. Cue cards/ unorganized papers were used ineffectively.	Level 3 Presentation was easy to understand, and showed good understanding of the bridge (its advantages and where improvements can be made next time) Presentation was clear. Student showed that rehearsal was done ahead of time, and he/she knew enough information about the structure. Cue cards were made, and used effectively.	Level 4 Presentation was very easy to understand, and showed clear understanding of the bridge (its advantages and where improvements can be made next time) Presentation was clear. Student was able to confidently answer questions from peers about his/her own structure. Cue cards were made, and used effectively.
Instruction Manual -included details -step by step process -diagrams	Level 1 No instruction manual was provided with the project.	Level 2 An instruction manual was provided with the project, however it had very little detail, step-by-step instruction, and/or diagrams.	Level 3 The instruction manual provided was neat, information was organized, and process to make the specified bridge was easy to understand.	Level 4 The instruction manual provided was very neat, information was thoroughly organized, and process to make the specified bridge was easy to understand. Extra information and diagrams were also provided.
Handed in on time	Level 1 Structure was not handed in, or was handed in very late.	Level 2 Structure was handed in late.	Level 3 Structure was handed in on time.	Level 4
