With an additive rubric, students have to learn more content in greater depth to achieve higher levels. Teachers should introduce the rubric before the activities begin and encourage students to achieve to their highest potential.
| 1 | 2 | 3 (Level 2+) | 4 (Level 3+) | 5 (Level 4+) | |
| Science Content: Activity 4 Science Conference |
*Level 2 tasks attempted but not completed or mastered. | *Students are able to decide what aspect of their research to report on. *Students are able to follow the guidelines for creating a science conference abstract and submit an abstract of at most 250 words. |
*Students are able to follow the guidelines for the science conference presentations. *Students submit a poster that meets all the requirements outlined in the guidelines for the science conference presentations
|
*Students are able to orally present their poster and information to the class. *Students demonstrate, through information on the poster and oral presentation, some understanding of the concepts surrounding magnetism in solar flares. |
*Students demonstrate, through information on the poster and oral presentation, that they fully understand the concepts surrounding magnetism in solar flares. |
| Collaborative Worker | Participates but does not successfully complete one or more requirements of Level 2. | Arrives on time with materials. Shows respect for others; cares for equipment and resources. |
Stays focused on assigned task and helps others do the same. Shares work equally. |
Facilitates the participation of all in group. Tutors and/or supports other students. | Takes all group roles with equal skill. Assists others as they learn to do the same. |
| 1 | 2 | 3 (Level 2+) | 4 (Level 3+) | 5 (Level 4+) | |
| Science Content: Activity 4 Poster Presentation |
*Level 2 tasks attempted but not completed or mastered. | *Students include all of the information outlined on the guidelines for their science conference poster presentation. |
*Students include detailed text that describes the bold graphs, photographs, figures, and tables. *Information on the poster board is at least 80% accurate. *Students include some important information that demonstrates they know basic concepts learned in Session 4.
|
*Students include lots of color and detail on their poster. *Students organize the information on the poster board in a creative and logical manner. *Information on the poster board is at least 90% accurate. *Students include the majority of important information with enough detail to demonstrate they somewhat understand the concepts taught in Session 4. |
*Students go above and beyond the expectations of the poster project and include vivid detail and text. *Information on the poster board is 100% accurate and encourages dialogue from those students evaluating the poster. *Students demonstrate that they fully understand all of the concepts of magnetism in solar flares. |

*Students include bold visuals that support the information they are presenting to the class. *Students demonstrate that they have practiced their presentation and are fairly comfortable in the delivery of their presentation. *All students involved in the science group participate in the oral presentation. *Students include some important information that demonstrates they know basic concepts learned in Session 4
|
*Students demonstrate that they have practiced their presentation and are very comfortable in the delivery of their presentation. *Students project their voices so that all audience members can here the oral presentation and make good eye contact with the audience. *Students are able to answer questions asked by the audience with at least 80-94% accuracy. *Students include the majority of important information with enough detail to demonstrate they somewhat understand the concepts taught in Session 4. |
*Students demonstrate that they have practiced their presentation and are confident in the delivery of their presentation. *Students go above and beyond the expectations of the oral presentation and include vivid detail and oral description of concepts. *Students are able to answer questions asked by the audience with at least 95% accuracy and above. *Students demonstrate that they fully understand all of the concepts of magnetism in solar flares. |
