West Virginia Science in the Arts 2016 Challenge Rubric Name of Student: ______________________________________ Points awarded for this section: ___________ School: _______________________________________________ Final score: ____________ Students are encouraged to use the rubric as they consider the artwork they will submit; research the science techniques and materials, examine the past or present societal, cultural, and/or economic issues related to their choice; and make decisions about what should be included in the video they create. The rubric should be used not simply as a check list of the sorts of things to include but also as a guide to the details and quality they should endeavor to achieve. If you have questions about the rubric or the Science in the Arts 2016 Challenge, please contact WVDE Science Coordinator, Robin Sizemore at robin.sizemore@k12.wv.us or Art Coordinator, Dr. Raymond Lowther at rlowther@k12.wv.us .
