A Model Planet in Our Solar System A Model Planet in Our Solar System Grade 6 is beginning a new science unit on Planets and Other Objects in Space. For our project, students will take their knowledge of our solar system and create a 3-dimensional model of a planet assigned to them. The planets should be relatively proportioned to any moons the planet may have. The planet should be clearly labeled in some way. This is a project meant to not only see how students view the solar system, but to also showcase their creativity. Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. This project is worth 100 points and the deadline for submission is February 23. Each student will have to present their project to the class, so they should come prepared to discuss how their 3-D solar system model was created and be able to tell facts about the planet.

A Model of One Planet
	Poor 12 pts	Good 17 pts	Excellent 20 pts
Planet is clearly labeled	Poor No labels are present, very difficult to find, or difficult to read.	Good Label is present, but they may have been difficult to find or handwriting could have been improved.	Excellent Label is clearly present and is easy to read.

Creativity	Poor Very little or no creativity.	Good Some thought has been put into the project.	Excellent There is a large amount of creativity being shown. Imagination has been used when designing the model.
Correct style	Poor It is not in 3 dimentional form. It is not in the correct color.	Good It is in 3 dimenstional form. The solar system and planets are close to the correct color.	Excellent The planets and solar system are in 3 dimentional form. Everything is the correct color.
Presentation	Poor The presentaion was not clear and did not explain how the model was created. The presentor did not tell facts about the planets and solar system.	Good The presentaion was somewhat clear and explained how the model was created. The presentor told a few facts about the planets and solar system.	Excellent The presentaion was clear and explained how the model was created. The presentor told many facts about the planets and solar system.
