any testing.

Satisfactory (2) Progressing Towards Expectations (Minimum)  List (and quantity) of materials and/or diagram does not accurately reflect the final design.

 Instructions do not adequately describe the building process.  Some steps are missing or inaccurate.  Evidence of testing but no results provided.

 Description of energy transformations is incomplete or inaccurate.  No relation between energy transformation and model’s design.

Proficient (3) Completely Meets Expectations

Excellent (4) Exceeds Expectations
