Rubric for flight project

Categories	Level One	Level Two	Level Three	Level Four
les sciences - Application – creation of flying object	- structure was unstable and unable to support weight – difficulty flying	- creates a fairly strong, stable flying device that is able to fly less than 5 m	- creates a balanced, strong flying device that is able to fly 5 m	- creates  a very balanced, strong flying device that is able to fly more than 5 m
Understanding Basic Concepts	Demonstrates a limited knowledge of how the properties of air can be applied to the principles of flight and flying devices (i.e. four forces involved in flight, impact of wing shape and size on flight)	Demonstrates some knowledge of how the properties of air can be applied to the principles of flight and flying devices ((i.e. four forces involved in flight, impact of wing shape and size on flight)	Demonstrates considerable knowledge of how the properties of air can be applied to the principles of flight and flying devices (i.e. four forces involved in flight, impact of wing shape and size on flight)	Demonstrates a thorough knowledge of how the properties of air can be applied to the principles of flight and flying devices (i.e. four forces involved in flight, impact of wing shape and size on flight)
Communication	Diagram of flying device difficult to interpret - limited use of science and technology vocabulary	Some information provided by diagram - some use of science and technology vocabulary	Considerable amount of information provided by diagram - consistent use of science and technology vocabulary	Diagram is highly effective in providing information - effective and consistent use of science and technology vocabulary
le français écrit -  Communication - clarity of explanation	-explanation of how and why object flies is incomplete and/or difficult to follow	-limited information presented re: how and why object flies	-general information presented re: how and why object flies -some organisation of ideas	- explanation of how and why object flies is organised, clearly written and logical
Communication - revision of writing	-minimal agreement with plural/singular, masculine/feminine nouns -lack of punctuation makes the writing difficult to follow -limited effort to correct spelling	-sometimes there is agreement with plural and feminine/masculine nouns -some French words are spelled correctly	most times, evidence of agreement with plural and feminine/masculine nouns -most French words are spelled correctly	-consistent application of grammatical concepts taught in class (i.e. agreement with plural nouns and feminine/masculine nouns) -French words consistently spelled correctly
