Energy Flow Project Energy Transformation Project Creatively and interestingly demonstrate that you know how energy from the sun is transferred to your body cells. Include the steps of energy transfer, the molecules involved, and the chemical reactions that take place in storing and releasing this energy. Show where the molecules come from where they go and how they get there. Include plant cells, body cells, an d the role of the three body systems that are required to process, transport, and release this energy to every cell in your body.

Understanding
	Minimal 20 pts	Developing 40 pts	Proficient 60 pts	Advanced 80 pts
Understanding	Minimal Shows limited or no understanding of energy flow, perhaps only recopying the provided information. Unable to identify the steps involved in the project and does not address energy flow.	Developing Shows some understanding of the required scientific knowledge of energy flow. The project addresses some but not all components presented of the task. There may be multiple errors	Proficient Identifies and classifies most of the energy flow involved in project and correctly demonstrates knowledge of how energy flows from the sun to body cells. There may be minor errors.	Advanced Shows complete understanding of the required scientific knowledge of energy flow. Demonstrates knowledge of all steps involved in energy flow. The presentation completely addresses ALL components presented in the task.
Quality and Effort
	Minimal 10 pts	Developing 20 pts	Proficeint 30 pts	Advanced 40 pts
Quality and Effort	Minimal Project is haphazard with no particular strategy for demonstrating energy flow. It is obvious that not much time was spent in planning or preparing the project.	Developing Project demonstrates some thought, preparation, and planning. Shows some effort and time spent, but not best effort.	Proficeint Project demonstrates good planning, thought, and preparation. Show good effort and time spent.	Advanced Project demonstrates excellent thought, planning, and preparation. Shows best effort possible.
Interesting and Creative
	Minimal 10 pts	Developing 20 pts	Proficient 30 pts	Advanced 40 pts
Interesting and Creative	Minimal Project is boring and not creative.	Developing Project is mildly interesting and/or creative.	Proficient Project is very interesting and/or creative.	Advanced Project is exceptionally creative and/or interesting.
