So far, this six weeks, you've had 1 project opportunity:
- Trends of Urbanization Prezi and Community Mapping Project
The SECOND project opportunity this six weeks is:
- Geology and Earth Resources 3D model
- Create a 3D model of any concept from Chapter 14.
- Models need to be no larger than 24" to fit on classroom shelves
- Models will be on display in the library for two weeks after you build them.
- 10 points Extra credit for recycled materials. Must include a list (standing placard) for display that identifies all recycled contents.
- You are working in pairs, and names should be displayed with project.
Here's your good friend Rubric.

Scientific Knowledge
|
Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.
|
Explanations by all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.
|
Explanations by most group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.
|
Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.
|
Function
|
Structure functions extraordinarily well, holding up under atypical stresses.
|
Structure functions well, holding up under typical stresses.
|
Structure functions pretty well, but deteriorates under typical stresses.
|
Fatal flaws in function with complete failure under typical stresses.
|
Information Gathering
|
Accurate information taken from several sources in a systematic manner.
|
Accurate information taken from a couple of sources in a systematic manner.
|
Accurate information taken from a couple of sources but not systematically.
|
Information taken from only one source and/or information not accurate.
|
Construction -Materials
|
Appropriate materials were selected and creatively modified in ways that made them even better.
|
Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better.
|
Appropriate materials were selected.
|
Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly.
|
Construction - Care Taken
|
Great care taken in construction process so that the structure is neat, attractive and follows plans accurately.
|
Constuction was careful and accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been refined for a more attractive product.
|
Construction accurately followed the plans, but 3-4 details could have been refined for a more attractive product.
|
Construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong or attractive product.
