Structure functions extraordinarily well, holding up under atypical stresses.

3
Structure functions well, holding up under typical stresses.

2
Structure functions pretty well, but deteriorates under typical stresses.

1
Fatal flaws in function with complete failure under typical stresses. Little evidence of troubleshooting, testing or refinement.

Modification/Testing Clear evidence of

Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Accurate information taken from several sources in a systematic manner. Poster is neat with clear labeling for all simple machines and steps. Explanations by all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Accurate information taken from a couple of sources in a systematic manner. Poster is neat with clear labeling for most parts and steps.

Some evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements.

Scientific Knowledge

Explanations by most group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Accurate information taken from a couple of sources but not systematically.

Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Information taken from only one source and/or information not accurate.
