Planning

Design and sketch

Beginning

Plan provides labeling for most components.
Developing

Plan is neat and labeling for most components.
Mastering

Plan is neat and labeling for all components.
Construction

Care taken

Beginning

Construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong, working compound machine game/invention
Developing

Construction was careful and accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been modified for a more successfully working compound machine game/invention
Mastering

Great care taken in construction process so that the compound machine game/invention follows plans accurately.
S5.F1 & S5.F2

Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object/

Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces

Beginning

Lack of understanding of unbalanced forces, surface friction and / or gravity.
Developing

Some parts of the game/invention:

showed understanding of gravity and balanced and unbalanced forces

or

showed understanding of surface friction and gravity
Mastering

I used my understanding of gravity and balanced and unbalanced forces when building my game/invention to make objects move faster or slower, up or down as required on multiple occasions

and/or

I used my knowledge of surface friction and gravity on multiple occasions when building my game/invention to make objects move faster or slower, up or down as required
S5.F3

Recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys etc that allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.

Beginning

Lack of knowledge of simple machines.

Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly.
Developing

Some ideas of simple machines was used.

Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better.
Mastering

Knowledge of properties of simple machines was used to
select appropriate material and creatively modified in ways that made them even better.
5SWS1, 5SWS2 & 5SWS6

Plan different types of scientific enquiries to recognise and control variables; take measurements to increase accuracy and precision; support or refute ideas

Beginning

Little evidence of troubleshooting, testing or refinement.
Developing

Some evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements.
Mastering

Clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing, and refinements based on scientific principles.
