Parts	Needs Work Particles are incomplete or missing.	Satisfactory Student has included all of the subatomic particles.	Proficient Student has included the protons, neutrons and electrons in their diagram and they are clearly marked	Excellent Student has included the protons, neutrons and electrons in their diagrams, they are clearly marked and their charges are referenced.
Arrangement	Needs Work Missing or misplaced particles and/or regions of the atoms.	Satisfactory Student has placed protons, electrons and neutrons on their diagram but their location is not clear.	Proficient Student has placed the protons, neutrons and electrons in the appropriate location.	Excellent Student has placed the protons, neutrons and electrons in the appropriate location and labeled each region (nucleus or cloud)
