Term 3 group project for Grade 6 science class requires students to work in groups of 3 to create a 3D model and presentation on the solar system or related topics. It is due on February 15th. The project will be graded based on creativity, correctness, inclusion of additional objects, proportion/scale, and completeness of label information. The rubric awards up to 10 points in each category for a possible total of 50 points.

Expected
(8 points)
Apprentice
(5 points)
Beginner
(2 points)
Points
Earned
Creativity
(10 points)
Student showed
large amounts of
creativity.
For e.g- All planets
are the correct
colour and
imagination has
been used when
designing the
model. The model is
3D.
Thought has been put
into the project.
For e.g.-The planets
are close to the
correct colour and
there is evidence of
student effort. The
model is 3D.
Some thought has been
put into the project.
For e.g.- There is some
colour and a few
planets are coloured
incorrectly. The model
is 2D.
Very little or
no creativity.
For e.g.-No
colour is used
or the planets
are all coloured
incorrectly.
Correctness (10
points)
All details are
correct. For e.g.-All
the planets were in
the correct order,
physical features
are shown correctly
All details are correct.
For e.g.-All the planets
were in the correct
order, few physical
features are shown
correctly
All details are correct.
No physical features
shown
For e.g.
Planets are not
in the correct
order.
Extra Objects (for
e.g. dwarf planets/
asteroids/ eclipses/
constellations)
(10 points)
5 or more are
included
4 are included 3 are included 2 or less are
included
Proportion/Scale
(10 points)
For e.g. -All of the
planets/stars/satel
lites are roughly
proportional to
each other.
For eg. - Most of the
planets/stars/satellites
are proportional to
each other.
For e.g. There a couple
of mistakes with the
proportions of the
planets/stars/satellites
Planets/
stars/satellites
are not
correctly
proportioned.
Label Information
(10 points)
Information
includes complete
facts and is typed.
Information includes
complete facts and is
hand-written.
Information is
incomplete for 4 or less
planets.
Information is
incomplete for
5 or more
planets.
Total points earned = ______ / 50
