Modeling Plate Tectonics Representing plate tectonics theory with a diagram, timeline, and vocabulary.
	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
Key Concepts Present Seafloor Spreading Slab Ocean Trenches Mid-Ocean Ridge Ridge Push Convection Currents/Mantle All Plates labeled	Good Plate Tectonics theory is clearly defined and has all of the concepts required.	Fair Plate Tectonics theory is clearly defined, but is missing one-two of the required concepts.	Poor Plate Tectonics theory is defined, but is missing three or more of the required concepts.
Diagrams Diagrams model the theory of plate tectonics.	Good One diagram or many small diagrams are used to represent the plate tectonics theory. Diagrams are neat, thoughtful, and labeled.	Fair Diagrams are used to represent plate tectonics theory. Diagrams are neat, but are not labeled and a little unclear.	Poor Diagrams are present, but are not labeled or not understandable due to disorder.
Timeline On the back, includes supporting evidence of plate tectonics.	Good Timeline is present with evidence that supports the plate tectonics theory. Timeline includes important dates and people. Timeline is well done and neat.	Fair Timeline is present, but missing some important information that supports the development of Plate Tectonics. OR Timeline has all information, but is not neat or understandable.	Poor Timeline is not present.
Presentation The way the poster is put together. Neatness, order, and clarity.	Good The presentation of the information is pleasing to look at. Information is easy to read and understand. Pictures are neat and done with excellence.	Fair The presentation of the information lacks neatness and order. Information may be scattered or messy.	Poor Little or no effort was put into the format of the information. Information is difficult to read and little pride was taken.
