Model: Design

Does not meet expectations

No wiring included in the model or no model included.
Approaching expectations

Wiring does not work.
Minimally meets expectations

Wiring either works intermittently or is working only on part of the circuit.
Meets expectations

Wiring is complete and working.
Exceeds expectations

Wiring is complete, working, and tidy. Switches are easy to operate and are model sized.
Model: Circuit

Does not meet expectations

No circuit included in the model or no model included.
Approaching expectations

Model wired using either a parallel or a series circuit. No switches are included.
Minimally meets expectations

Model is wired using with a parallel or a series circuit. Two devices are controlled by one switch and are on the same pathway on the circuit.
Meets expectations

Model is wired using a series and a parallel circuit. Two light bulbs are controlled by two switches and are on different pathways on the circuit.
Exceeds expectations

Model is wired using at least one parallel and one series circuit. Two or more devices are controlled by a switch for each light bulb.
Model: Appearance

Does not meet expectations

No model included
Approaching expectations

The model is very messy and carelessly constructed.
Minimally meets expectations

The model is somewhat messy. Looks like it is thrown together and little time put into the project. Items are not glued. Can see tape.
Meets expectations

The display looks as if time was taken to complete. Items are glued and tape is hidden. Model is a good size.
Exceeds expectations

Model was created with great care and attention. No major mistakes in coloring, cutting, gluing, or taping. Walls are colored and decorated.
Written Information

Does not meet expectations

No written content included
Approaching expectations

Is missing one of the written content areas (circuit explanation and electrical flow explanation), is weak in both areas, or information is plagiarised.
Minimally meets expectations

Includes description in student's own words of both the written content areas (circuit explanation and electrical flow explanation), but the explanation is lacking detail.
Meets expectations

Includes adequately detailed description in student's own words of both the written content areas (circuit explanation and electrical flow explanation).
Exceeds expectations

Includes thorough, detailed information both of the written content areas (circuit explanation and electrical flow explanation) that goes beyond expectations. May also include detailed information on electricity, electrical sources, electrical devices, etc.
Blue Print

Does not meet expectations

No Blue Print
Approaching expectations

Student provided one small diagram that did not match the model.
Minimally meets expectations

Student provided one diagram. Diagram may be incomplete, unclear in displaying the circuit, or not using the proper symbols. Diagram is messily and lacks effort.
Meets expectations

Student provided one circuit diagram. Diagram uses proper symbols and includes a symbol key. Diagram accurately shows the circuit used in the model. Diagram neatly attached to poster.
Exceeds expectations

Student provided two or more illustrations and/or diagrams showing great detail. Diagrams are neat, tidy, and thorough. Diagrams and illustrations neatly attached to poster.
Use of class time

Does not meet expectations

No class time used; distracting other students.
Approaching expectations

Wasted most of class time; consistently off-task; usually had no materials
Minimally meets expectations

Much of class time was wasted; usually off-task
Meets expectations

Some class time wasted; usually on-task; occasionally forgot materials or needed to borrow supplies.
Exceeds expectations

Little to no class time wasted; consistently on-task and prepared to work
