Purpose Students clearly understand the purpose of design and the of the people’s spaces and places. Students have a moderate level of understanding about the design needs of spaces and places and its purpose. Students have some knowledge and understanding of the purpose and design of peoples places and spaces. Students have limited to no knowledge about the purpose and needs of design for people and environments Scientific Knowledge Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations by all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations by most group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Data Collection Data taken several times in a careful, reliable manner. Data twice in a careful, reliable manner. Data taken once in a careful, reliable manner. Data not taken carefully OR not taken in a reliable manner. Construction -Materials Appropriate materials were selected and creatively modified in ways that made them even better. Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better. Appropriate materials were selected. Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly. Modification/Testing evidence of troubleshooting, testing, and refinements based on data or scientific principles. evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements. Some evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements. Little evidence of troubleshooting, testing or refinement. Journal/Log - Content Journal provides a complete record of planning, construction, testing, modifications, reasons for modifications, and some reflection the strategies used and the results. Journal provides a complete record of planning, construction, testing, modifications, and reasons for modifications. Journal provides quite a bit of detail about planning, construction, testing, modifications, and reasons for modifications. Journal provides very little detail about several aspects of the planning, construction, and testing process.
