Science Assessment and Evaluation Criteria Grade 08 Unit 02 Appendix: Atoms 2011-2012
Performance Indicator #1
Draw two different atoms and label their parts. Describe, in writing, the structure of the atoms, including the masses, electrical charges, and locations of the protons, neutrons, and electrons, the atomic number and mass number of each atom. (8.2C; 8.3B; 8.5A, 8.5B)
8.2C Collect and record data using the International System of Units (SI) and qualitative means such as labeled drawings, writing, and graphic organizers.
8.3B Use models to represent aspects of the natural world such as an atom or a molecule, space, or a geologic feature.
4
The drawing/model is appropriate, clear and appropriately detailed and labeled. This model could be used as an instructional aide.
3
The drawing/model is generally appropriate and clear; however, there may be minor confusion in interpreting the visual. This model could be used in conjunction with an oral explanation.
2
The drawing/model is only minimally appropriate due to a lack of clarity. The graphic is confusing to interpret and needs revision. There may be some areas that are easier to interpret than others and at least some appropriate labels are present. This model would have to be revised in order to use provided information.
1
There is little to no evidence that the student can create a drawing/model of a scientific concept due to disorganization, lack of clarity and inappropriate or missing labels and vocabulary.
0
Student does not attempt the task.

8.5A Describe the structure of atoms, including the masses, electrical charges, and locations, of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the electron cloud.
8.5B Identify that protons determine an element’s identity and valence electrons determine its chemical properties including reactivity.
4
The atoms drawn and described include completely accurate information in all of the required areas (mass, electrical charges, location of protons, neutrons and electrons.) Protons show how element's identity is acquired. The drawing is appropriate and the written explanation makes connections between the data given and what they mean.
3
The atoms drawn and described include mostly accurate information so that any errors or omissions are minor. The data in the written explanation may be accurate, but does little to explain what the data means.
2
The atoms drawn and described include several errors or omissions, but do include accurate information with explanations that are appropriate in some cases.
1
The atoms drawn and described have so many errors and omissions that the information cannot be judged to be minimally successful. The writing confuses the data, leaves holes in the data, and inaccurately portrays the data.
0
Student does not attempt the task.
