Molecular Structure

Unsatisfactory

Student puts together balls and sticks that do not represent the actual molecule they had intended in any way.
Below Average

Students build a model that has the correct number of atoms color coded, but neglect size, bond type and orientation altogather.
Average

Students have the correct number of atoms and color code them, but they do not represent actual relevant sizes. The type of bond or the spacial orientation are not clear or not represented.
Very Good

Students have the correct number of atoms. Atoms are color coded, and represent relevant sizes of actual atoms. They connect the atoms using the correct bonding type (single, double, triple).
Excellent

Students have the correct number of atoms. Atoms are color coded and represent relevant sizes of actual atoms. They connect the atoms using the correct bonding type (single, double, triple), and representing the actual orientation of the molecule in space
Atomic Structure

Unsatisfactory

Incorrect number of protons, electrons, and neutrons; protons, electrons and neutrons not in correct place for all atoms on model.
Below Average

Some incorrect number of protons, electrons, and neutrons; misplaced protons, electrons and neutrons on some of atoms on model.
Average

Most number of protons, neutrons, electrons correct and placed most of these in the correct place on model.
Very Good

Correctly identified the number of protons, electrons and neutrons; correctly placed protons, electrons and neutrons where they go on model.
Excellent

Correctly identified the number of protons, electrons and neutrons; correctly placed protons, electrons and neutrons where they go on model; used color coding to distinguish between protons, electrons and neutrons; created a model so that electrons somehow moved around the nucleus.
Creativity

Unsatisfactory

Students did not add color, no effort put forth. The model was not unique.
Below Average

Students created a model, it lacked color and appeal, some effort. The model was not unique.
Average

Students created a model, it was color coded, and had some appeal, effort was visible. The model had some different aspects, but was not unique.
Very Good

Students created a model that was color coded, showed good effort, and had a lot of visual appeal. The model had some different aspects.
Excellent

Students created a molecule with a lot of color, coded atoms, was very visually appealing. The student created a unique model with many different aspects.
Written Element

Unsatisfactory

Students did not complete the writing assignment. The assignment does not contain research on the molecule or has incorrect material.
Below Average

Students completed the writing assignment, but some of the information was incorrect. It did not fulfill the length requirement. Some incorrect material and research.
Average

Students completed the writing assignment, it met the length requirement, and most information and research was correct.
Very Good

Students completed the writing assignment, it met the length requirement, and all information and research was correct
Excellent

Students completed the writing assignment, they went above and beyond the length requirement, the research and information was correct and data filled.
