Rubric for STEM Unit Criteria 1 2 3 4 Unit is linked to grade level SCIENCE core objective and ILO. Unit is loosely related to grade level core objective or ILO. Unit can be linked to a single core objective or ILO but connection is incomplete. Unit is related in a substantial way to a stated core objective and ILO but depth. Unit provides essential content and ILO links supporting a stated core objective. Unit is linked to a grade level MATHEMATICS core standard and practice. Unit does not incorporate a grade level core standard and/or practice standards. Unit can be linked to a single core standard or practice. Unit incorporates a grade level core standard or practice but lacks depth. Unit incorporates essential content and mathematic practices for a grade level core standard and practice. Unit is linked to grade level ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS Core Standards and includes narrative text, informational text, instructions, speaking and/or writing Only one ELA standard is addressed. Two ELA standards are included. Three ELA standards are developed. 4-5 ELA standards are connected to the unit. Unit requires students to broaden their knowledge of ENGINEERING fields. Engineering is mentioned but the specific field is not identified. Engineering field is identified but not defined or examples provided. Engineering field is identified and defined but examples are not provided. Engineering field is identified and defined and examples are provided. Unit instruction allows science and mathematics skills to be explained and reinforced. Instruction of mathematics and science content is not adequate to prepare students for the lesson. Instruction of science and mathematics content allows students to understand at a basic level. Instruction of science and mathematics concepts allows students to understand on an adequate level. Instruction of science and mathematics allows students to understand concepts on an advanced level. Unit requires students to engineer a TECHNOLOGY in the search for a solution to a question. Students use a technology to answer a question. Students model an existing engineering design or technology. Students create a technological design to answer a question. Students demonstrate engineering concepts as they create a problem- solving technology.
