CATEGORY 20 17 14 10 Function/fulfilled task Structure functions extraordinarily well, holding up atypical stresses. Structure functions well, holding up under typical stresses. Structure functions pretty well, but deteriorates under typical stresses. Fatal flaws in function with complete failure under typical stresses. Diagrams/ packet fully done Diagram is neat with clear measurements and labeling for all components. All sections of packet completed Diagram is neat with clear measurements and labeling for most components. Most sections of packet completed Diagram provides clear measurements and labeling for most components. Some sections of packet completed Diagram does not show measurements clearly or is otherwise inadequately labeled. Some sections of packet completed Construction 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. Construction - Care Taken Great care taken in construction process so that the structure is neat, attractive and follows plans accurately. Construction was careful and accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. Construction accurately followed the plans, but 3-4 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. Construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong or attractive product. Presentation Explanations indicate a and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.
