Written & Oral Communication Describe the chemistry behind everyday household substances and their potential use and misuse by societies (CCO16)

Sections E & F Writing meets all assignment requirements (length, sources, format, etc.); Information is presented in a well- organized, logical manner that is supported by exceptional evidence and displays unusual insight; Contains only minor grammatical or spelling errors.

Writing meets all assignment requirements (length, sources, format, etc.); Information presented is logical, uniform and is supported by very good evidence; Contains few errors in usage/ mechanics which do not impede meaning or distract the reader

Writing fails to meet some assignment requirements (length, sources, format, etc.); Information is not presented in a unified or logical manner and does not include adequate supporting details; Contains lapses in organization; contains many errors in usage/mechanics which may impede meaning or distract the reader.

Writing fails to meet most assignment requirements (length, sources, format, etc.); Lacks uniformity, logic and shows no supporting details and/or shows no clear organization; Contains numerous errors in usage/ mechanics which impede meaning and distract the reader.

Sections E & F are missing or the writing is unreadable.

Critical Analysis & Reasoning Describe the properties associated with the three basic states of matter: solids, liquids and gases (CCO11)

Section B

Density of Kool aid is calculated with all work shown. Contains only minor significant figure errors.

Work for the density is set up correctly, but the answer is incorrect OR there are errors with significant figures.

Work for density has errors AND Errors exist in significant figures

Some of the work used to calculate the density is incorrect AND there are many significant figure errors.

The calculation for the density of Kool aid is missing.

Technological Competence create a graph to present data, extract quantitative information, and make predictions (CCO 5)

Section C The graph was plotted correctly and includes a logical title and labeled axes with units. Data in the graph is presented in a trend line to support the understanding of the results.

The graph was plotted correctly and includes a logical title and labeled axes with units. Trend line is absent.

The graph was plotted correctly but does not include two of the following: title, axis labels, units for the axis labels, or trend line.

The graph was missing more than two of the following: title, axis labels, units for the axis labels, trend line AND/OR the graph did not accurately reflect the data.

The graph is missing.

Information Literacy use appropriate resources and documents, including print and digital media, to gather and evaluate physical and chemical data (CCO20)

Sections E & F References cited section exceeds the minimum number of required sources (3) and all sources are credible. Source information is smoothly integrated and paraphrased in appropriate sections with limited use of direct quotes. Sources are cited properly using APA style citations. In-text citations are used in the body of the document correctly and adhere to APA style as well.

Sections A & D All calculations are performed correctly and all answers are reported with correct significant digits and units. All work was shown with all the intermediate steps present with correct significant digits and units.

All calculations are performed correctly and all answers are reported with correct significant digits and units. All work was shown with all the intermediate steps present without units.

All calculations are performed correctly but not all answers were reported with correct significant digits and units All work was not shown for the intermediate steps in calculations.

Calculations were performed incorrectly.

Calculations are missing or answers are given without work being shown.

Personal and Professional Ethics Discuss ethical relationships between chemistry and societal and environmental problems such as health (CCO 18)

Sections E & F Clearly states the prevalence of diabetes among more than 3 different groups in the United States. Used data to explain and tie together the nutritional, culture, social-economical, and life-style factors that might contribute to the different prevalence among the groups.

Clearly states the prevalence of diabetes among 3 different groups in the United States. Clearly states the factors from data to explain the different prevalence of diabetes among the group.
