While dam design may have been effective or ineffective, appropriate materials were selected.
While dam design may have been effective or ineffective, Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly.
Evidence Suporting Claim and 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.
Dam Efficacy and Data Collection
Data taken several times in a careful, reliable manner that clearly informs the reader of the efficacy of the dam.

Data taken once in a careful, reliable manner that clearly informs the reader of the efficacy of the dam.
Data not taken carefully OR not taken in a reliable manner that leaves unclear the efficacy of the dam.
Testing/Conclusion/Modification
A conclusion was supported by the clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing, and refinements based on data or scientific principles.
A conclusion was supported by the clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements.
A conclusion was supported by the some or little evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements.
