Design Process: Scientific Reasonin Enter rubric description
	Poor 3 pts	Fair 4 pts	Good 5 pts
Explanation Explain how scientific reasoning informed the design process	Poor Modifications explained without reference to scientific theory. Relies exclusively on observational findings.	Fair Some scientific justification is attempted; however lacks clarity. Based primarily on observations findings.	Good Explains modifications with direct reference to scientific theory and observational findings
Predictions	Poor Predictions lacking or not clear	Fair Predictions not clearly linked to modifications	Good Modifications are linked to observable results in an if --> then format
Materials and Procedures	Poor Procedure not clear or difficult to follow	Fair Procedure listed but lacking detail (e.g. dimensions)	Good Clearly lists construction procedure and materials in sequential order in sufficient detail
