Appendix B: SDR Project Scoring Rubric: To be handed in with final project. 4 includes all criteria from P plus: 3 includes all criteria from BP plus: 2 includes all criteria from LP plus: 1 Communicate Fundamental principles are used to evaluate the results of an original investigation. Fundamental principles are applied to a line of inquiry where original data is collected and cited in the report. External resources are used to support discussion. Fundamental principles are demonstrated by descriptions of observations made with the SDR device. Rough draft is completed and revised for final product. Fundamental principles are stated but are not related to observations. Principles of EM waves Principles are used to inform the design of an experiment to test predicted values of properties of radio waves. Principles of waves are tested with original observations of radio waves from local resources. Observations are analyzed and compared with theoretical values. Shows the uses of radio waves through observations of a variety of sources. Describe the basic properties of waves that can be used to communicate information. Energy of the system Experimental results are formulated to make predictions about energy requirements or losses in the system with emphasis on communication closure. Energy conversion is examined including inputs and outputs of energy from the system of radio communications with specific examples from the SDR observations. Energy conversion is illustrated using observations of radio waves. Basic description of conversion of sound energy to electromagnetic radiant energy and vice versa.
