| Propose a design solution or plan |
Proposes a design solution or plan based upon prior experience & the facts, concepts & principles of science |
Proposes a design solution based upon some of the prior experiences, uses most of the concepts & principles. |
Proposes a design solution that has some flaws. Design is only partially based upon prior experiences, concepts and principles. |
Proposes a design solution that is flawed. Little to no use of prior concepts and principles. |
| Implement design solution |
Carry out proposed design accurately following design solution. Show strong evidence that experiences have been taken into account. |
Carry out proposed design using most of the design solution. Shows some evidence that prior experiences were taken into account when building. |
Carry out proposed design with some flaws. There are few pieces of evidence to indicate that prior experiences were taken into account. |
Carry out design with significant flaws. Little to no resemblance to initial solution or plan. No evidence that prior experiences were taken into account. |
| Collect & record data on design effectiveness |
Use all appropriate strategies and instruments to collect data. Records data in an accurate & highly organized way. |
Uses mostly appropriate strategies & instruments to collect data. Almost all data is accurate & recorded in an organized way. |
Uses few appropriate strategies & instruments to collect data. There are some inaccuracies in data; data is not very organized. |
Uses inappropriate strategies & instruments to collect data. Little to no attempt to organize data. |
| Evaluate design |
Provides a complete evaluation of the design, supporting each component of the evaluation with evidence as well as scientific principles. |
Provides an almost complete evaluation of the design, supporting most components of the evaluation with evidence. Some use of scientific principles is evident. |
Evaluation is missing some key components. Only some of the evaluation is supported by evidence & scientific principles. |
Evaluation is flawed. Little to none of the evaluation is supported by evidence & scientific principles. |
| Revises initial design plan |
Provides a revision of design plan that is carefully connected to all components of the evaluation. |
Provides a revision of design plan that is only connected to some of the evaluation components. |
Provides a revision of the design plan with few references to the evaluation components. |
Provides a revision of the design plan with no reference to evaluation components. |
