Clearly Labeling Processes
Labels are misspelled and/or
written only in pen or pencil no color used
Labels are spelled correctly
but written only in pen or
pencil - no color used
Labels are represented
accurately with correct
spellings, some color is used
Labels are exceptional with
correct spellings, neat and
colorful
Required Information
Basic understanding of both
processes. May be missing
two or more of the required
elements: location, chemical
equation, summary of process
including 2 stages and may
not be neat

questions
Diagrams
Missing one of the two
required diagrams or
illustrations of photosynthesis
& cellular respiration appear
rushed/not neat done without
using color
Diagrams illustrate
photosynthesis & cellular
respiration appear rushed/not
neat with little or no color
Diagrams illustrate
photosynthesis & cellular
respiration, neat but minimal
use of color
Diagrams clearly illustrate
photosynthesis & cellular
respiration, neat and colorful
with a VERY logical flow.
Connects to knowledge
