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.
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
Written Conclusion Provide a short description of what a watershed is and how human impact can effect it.	No effort Explanation illustrates inaccurate understanding of scientific concepts underlying the assignment.	Needs Work Explanation illustrates a limited understanding of scientific concepts underlying the assignment.	Good Explanation illustrates an accurate understanding of scientific concepts underlying the assignment.	Excellent Explanation illustrates an accurate and thorough understanding of scientific concepts underlying the assignment.
Class time Student use of given class time	No effort Student did not participate in making a model nor submitting a written response.	Needs Work Student completed the model but did not submit the written response.	Good Student completed both the model and written response but did not make effective use of the time given in class.	Excellent Both the construction of the model and/or written response were done in a timely manner.
