SDR Summative Project Scoring Rubric: To be handed in with final project. Communicate Principles of EM waves Energy of the system Teacher comments: E criteria from P plus: Fundamental principles are used to evaluate the results of an original investigation. P criteria from BP plus: Fundamental principles are applied to a line of inquiry where original data is collected and cited in the report. External resources are used to support discussion. Principles are used to Principles of waves are inform the design of an tested with original experiment to test observations of radio predicted values of waves from local properties of radio waves. resources. Observations are analyzed and compared with theoretical values. Experimental results are Energy conversion is formulated to make examined including inputs predictions about energy and outputs of energy requirements or losses in from the system of radio the system with emphasis communications with on communication specific examples from the closure. SDR observations. BP criteria from LP plus: Fundamental principles are demonstrated by descriptions of observations made with the SDR device. LP Rough draft is completed and revised for final product. Fundamental principles are stated but are not related to observations. Shows the uses of radio waves through observations of a variety of sources. Describe the basic properties of waves that can be used to communicate information. Energy conversion is illustrated using observations of radio waves. Basic description of conversion of sound energy to electromagnetic radiant energy and vice versa.
