Design Plans

(Thinking)
Level 1

Demonstrates limited understanding of the considerations necessary when building their own structure or the design is missing or incomplete
Level 2

Demonstrates some understanding of the considerations necessary when building their own structure, yet the design plan is missing some essential components
Level 3

Demonstrates considerable understanding of the considerations necessary when building their own structure, and the design plan is complete and all components have been discussed
Level 4

Demonstrates thorough understanding of the considerations necessary when building their own structure and the design plan has been completed with considerable detail.
Building the Structure

(Application)
Level 1

Group members do not cooperate and exclude team members from the process of designing and building the structure - - The structure is incomplete and therefore could not be tested
Level 2

Group members cooperate with one another, but all team members are not participating in the project - - The structure is complete but is lacking effort and does not follow the design
Level 3

Group members are working well together and accomplishing what is required - - The structure is complete and is able to stand on its own and resembles the design plan
Level 4

Group members are working efficiently together towards a group project - - The structure is thoroughly done and is very close to the design plan completed earlier.
Oral Presentation

(Communication)
Level 1

Demonstrates a limited understanding of the structure and the reasoning behind its' design as well as a limited understanding of where the tension and compression act on the structure
Level 2

Demonstrates some understanding of the design of the structure and shows some understanding of where the tension and compression would act on the structure
Level 3

Demonstrates considerable understanding of the reasoning for the design of the structure and is able to accurately communicate to peers where tension and compression would act on the structure
Level 4

Demonstrates a thorough understanding of the design of the structure and is able to clearly communicate where the tension and compression would act on their structure
Individual Evaluation

(Knowledge)
Level 1

Demonstrates a limited understanding of the forces acting on the structure as well as the elements that could have been improved or changed to modify the result of the structure.
Level 2

Demonstrates a somewhat accurate description of elements that could have been improved or changed to modify the result of the structure and expresses ideas and answers with some clarity
Level 3

Demonstrates an effective evaluation of the structure including many elements that could have been improved or changed - Effectively describes where tension and compression are acting
Level 4

- Thoroughly describes the elements of the structure that could have been changed to improve the result of the structure - Thoroughly describes where the forces of tension and compression are acting on the structure
