Cycle Diagram Rubric
	No Score 0 pts	Poor 1 pts	Average 2 pts	Good 3 pts
Arrows	No Score No arrows to illustrate cycling.	Poor In the illustrated cycle their are two or fewer arrows to show the cycling of matter in the ecosystem.	Average More two or three arrows are included in the illustrated cycle to show the cycling of matter in the ecosystem, but they may be inaccurately placed.	Good In the illustrated cycle more than three arrows are included and used accurately to show the cycling of matter in the ecosystem.
Labels	No Score No labels used.	Poor The few labels that were included are inaccurate or not legible.	Average The student attempted to use multiple labels for various interactions in the cycle, but may have made a few errors.	Good The students accurately uses many labels in the cycle to show various interactions.

The science content contains many inaccuracies.	Average The drawing depicts the presented cycle. The cycle may contain a few inaccuracies.
