Grading Rubric (TEST GRADE!)


Excellent
(10)

Satisfactory
(9-8)

Needs
Improvement
(6)

Appearance

Project stands out


from the rest, shows
evidence of
considerable effort.

Appearance is neat,
labels are typed or
neatly written,
project is organized,
and shows evidence
of good effort.

Labels are hard to


read, project is not
neatly done, more
effort needed

Appears hastily built,


lack of effort is
evident.

Creativity

Cell model uses


materials not often
seen in most
projects.

Good, creative use of


materials that are
often used by other
students

Minimal creativity is
used; project is a
poster or other 2-D
model.

Lacks creativity,
copied from diagram
in book.

Cell Type

Cell model clearly


represents a
either an animal or a
plant cell

Cell model represents a


plant or animal cell.

Model is a replica
of a generalized
cell.

Details

All organelles & cell


parts are accurately
detailed and clearly
represented. Actual
numbers of
organelles are
represented.

Most organelles &


cell parts are
accurately detailed
and clearly
recognizable. Actual
numbers of
organelles are
represented.

More detail needed


to recognize cell
parts. Some are not
recognizable.
Numbers of organelles

Labeled
Organelles

11+ organelles are


correctly located
and labeled on the
model.

8-10 organelles are


correctly located
and labeled on the
model.

5-7 organelles are


correctly located
and labeled on the
model.

<5 organelles are


labeled OR there are
errors with organelles
identified.

Functions of
Organelles (on
back of label)

Functions of all
organelles are
correctly described
in detail.

Functions of all
organelles are
correctly
summarized.

Functions of some
organelles are
summarized with
minor errors.

Functions are not


clearly explained or
contain errors.

are somewhat
representative of an
actual cell.

Parts of cell are


generalized blobs

Numbers of organelles
are NOT representative
of an actual cell.

3-D Cell Model

Objective: Make a 3-D model of a cell.


Guidelines:
A.) You may choose to make a plant or animal cell. If you choose to
B.) Your cell must be 3- dimensional with front, back and sides.
C.) The model may be edible or non-edible
D.) All parts of your cell must be labeled clearly. Suggestion: use toothpicks and
pieces of paper to make
little flags.
E.) Your organelles should clearly represent the actual organelle. By just looking at
an organelle I should be able to tell what it is. Ex: Your nucleus should not be square.
Your mitochondria should have a folded inner membrane.
F.) Actual numbers of organelles found in real cells should be represented. Ex: Each
cell has one nucleus. Plant cells have one large vacuole. Cells have multiple
mitochondria and other organelles.
G.) Functions of each organelle should be provided. Suggestion: use the back side of your
label flags to write down the job of that organelle.
H.) Be unique and creative! Use a variety of appropriate materials.
