Science Fair: Shoebox Bedroom
	Does not meet expectations 0 pts	Approaching expectations 10 pts	Minimally meets expectations 20 pts	Meets expectations 30 pts	Exceeds expectations 40 pts
Model: Operation	Does not meet expectations No wiring included in the model or no model included.	Approaching expectations Wiring does not work.	Minimally meets expectations Wiring either works intermittently or is working only on part of the circuit.	Meets expectations Wiring is complete and working.	Exceeds expectations Wiring is complete, working, and tidy. The switch is easy to operate.
Model: Circuit	Does not meet expectations No circuit included in the model or no model included.	Approaching expectations Model wired using a series circuit. No switches are included.	Minimally meets expectations Model is wired using a series circuit. Two lights are attached to a switch, but the switch is faulty or is wired incorrectly.	Meets expectations Model is wired using a series circuit. Two lights are controlled by one switch and are on the same pathway on the circuit. The lights turn on and off as they should when using the switch.	Exceeds expectations Model is wired using a series circuit. Two lights are controlled by one switch and are on the same pathway on the circuit. The lights turn on and off as they should when using model-sized switch.
Model: Appearance	Does not meet expectations No model included	Approaching expectations The model is very messy and carelessy constructed. Model is either far too large or far too small.	Minimally meets expectations The model is somewhat messy. Looks like it is thrown together and little time put into the project. Items are not glued. Can see tape.	Meets expectations The display looks as if time was taken to complete. Items are glued and tape is hidden. Model is a good size.	Exceeds expectations Model was created with great care and attention. No major mistakes in coloring, cutting, gluing, or taping. Has 6 or more model items. Walls and floors have coverings. All parts of the model are proprotionally sized.
