iRubric: Exit Ticket: Solar Eclipse rubric

Each component (Earth, Moon, Sun) of the scale model is clearly labeled and drawing accurately displays a thorough understanding of lesson content.

Size and distance of each object (i.e. Sun, Earth, Moon) are appropriately scaled in relation to one another.

Scale model identifies and thoroughly identifies how size and distance alter the perception of the moon and Sun during a solar eclipse (from Earth).

Student expresses some understanding of scale models and lesson material:

Most (only 1-2 inaccuracies) components of student scale model are adequately labeled and accurately drawn (according to relative size and distance).

Scale model identifies a basic relationship between size and distance in terms of perception during a solar eclipse.

Scale model is incomplete or missing.

Many (2-3) scale model components are mislabeled or inaccurate.

No connections are made to the ideas learned in the lesson (apparent v actual size).

The scale model and written explanation are neatly written and organized.

Writing and scale model is legible and each component is identifiable.

Student provides explicit connections between their scale model and written explanation that can be used to inform each other (i.e. scale model provides a concrete depiction of written explanation).

Scale model and written explanation are legible. Components of the scale model are identifiable and labeled.

Student uses some connections between his/her scale model and explanation (1-2), although some portions of the scale model are not articulated (or explained) within the written explanation (or vice versa).

There is little/no coherence between the scale model and written explanation.

Sections are incomplete or disconnected (written explanation does not explain the scale model or the scale model does not express what was written the in explanation.)
