Watershed Model Project Watershed Model Project Students will create a 3-D model watershed. They will use recycled material to model the movement of water over the land and in the ground water and identify any river, streams, lakes, and outlets. Students diagram their watershed illustrating water flow patterns and sources of pollution. Please use your text book to assist you in labeling and designing your model.

Watershed Model Project
	No effort 10 pts	Needs Work 15 pts	Good 20 pts	Excellent 25 pts
Diagram Must be 3-dimensional with recyclable material.	No effort No clarity in representation. Diagram does not represent structure or function of the land or water features	Needs Work Confusion in representation. Difficult to see the different parts of the diagram.	Good Generally clear representation, good drawings to show the features of the watershed.	Excellent Representation is extremely clear, drawings clearly represent all key features of the watershed.
Labels Must be labeled with marker - nice and dark using good handwriting or typed	No effort Little or no labels. Numerous errors in feature labeling. Lack of understanding of watersheds and key vocabulary	Needs Work Errors in or missing labels. Understanding of watersheds needs further development.	Good Adequate understanding of watershed. Most structures labeled appropriately.	Excellent Excellent understanding of watershed. All structures labeled appropriately.
Creativity and Artistic Appeal Must be 3-dimensional with recyclable material.	No effort Absence of creative design. Lacks features to give good representation of a watershed	Needs Work Little or no creativity seen in design. Problems with planning and organization. Some features but gives poorly distinguishable water flow.	Good Shows some creativity in design. Use of materials/methods shows satisfactory planning and organization. Good demonstration of water flow	Excellent Innovative use of materials/method that shows excellent planning, organization and hard work. Excellent demonstration of water flow
