SOLAR SYSTEM MODEL ACADEMIC RUBRIC

MODEL SKETCH FOR STUDENT

Components of Model The student designed a model The student designed a model which included 2 of the items which included: listed in the first column. A drawing 8 sequenced planets # of toilet paper squares for each planet 3 2 The student designed a model that indicated 8 correct planetary distances from the sun in toilet paper squares. The student designed a model that indicated 6 or 7 correct planetary distances from the sun in toilet paper squares. 3 2 The student designed a model The student designed a that contained correct model that contained correct sequencing and distances of sequencing and distances of all 8 planets. 7 or less planets. 3 Group Academic The group designed a model that contains the following elements: 8 planets (cut out, colored, & labeled) in order 8 Accurate Distances 3 2 The student designed a model which included one or less items on the list in the first column.

1 The student designed a model that indicated 5 or less correct planetary distances from the sun in toilet paper squares. 1 The student designed a model that contained correct sequencing and distances of 6 or less planets. 1 The group designed a model that may/may not have contained the elements in the first column and has 3 or more errors.

Accuracy of Distance

Accuracy of Sequencing

MODEL DESIGN FOR GROUP

The group designed a model that has the elements in the first column with 2 or less errors.

PROFICIENCY = 9/12 (75%) Total= _____/12 NON-ACADEMIC FOR STUDENT

Participation & Responsibility for Learning
The student contributed and participated in the building of the solar system model. This was confirmed through teacher observation and student feedback. 3 The students contribution to the model varied and was not consistent through the project construction. This was confirmed through teacher observation and student feedback. 2 The student made little to no contribution in the construction of the groups model of the solar system. This was confirmed through teacher observation and student feedback. 1
