Solar System Project Rubric
Create a project that teaches others about our solar system. Include a creative story, a fact-based report, and a model. Use the scoring guide below to check your work. The seven scored categories add up to 125 points.
Project Scorecard — 125 Points
For each category, award points using its scoring guide. The answer field gives the evidence to look for and how to assign the score.
1.Write an original story set in space or on another world. It should have a clear beginning, middle, and ending, and include imaginative details connected to space.
2.Write a nonfiction report about at least two solar system objects. Include accurate facts and explain what makes each object interesting or different.
3.Build a model that includes the Sun and all eight planets in the correct order moving outward from the Sun. Make each object easy to identify.
4.Show that planets have different sizes, label the planets, and present a sturdy, carefully assembled model. The model does not need to be to scale.
5.During your report or presentation, explain one pattern or relationship in the solar system—for example, how planets orbit the Sun or how rocky inner planets differ from the outer planets.
6.Present your project so an audience can follow your ideas. Speak clearly, use your model or notes to support your explanation, and stay focused on the topic.
7.Turn in all three parts: the creative story, the nonfiction report, and the solar system model. Keep the work organized and make written information easy to read.
8.Add the seven category scores. Then write one strength of the project and one next step for learning more about the solar system.
