Function

5

The eruption properly modeled the correct type of volcano that the students chose (shield, cinder cone, or composite) by creating an appropriate chemical reaction and appropriate amount of pressure.

Student properly explained the chemical reaction taking place and was confident about the topic.
4

The eruption mostly modeled the correct type of volcano that the students chose (shield, cinder cone, or composite) by creating an appropriate chemical reaction and appropriate amount of pressure, although the reaction may not have gone exactly as planned.

Student mostly explained the chemical reaction taking place and was relatively confident about the topic.
3

The eruption doesn't model the correct type of volcano that the students chose (shield, cinder cone, or composite) either because the chemical reaction failed or pressure was too high or low.

Student could kind of explain the chemical reaction taking place but had little confidence about the topic.
2

The eruption totally failed. Very little effort was put in to ensure that the reaction would properly model the chosen volcano type.

Student could barely explain the reaction taking place.
