Write a summary about the article. If you have another article you would like to read just get it cleared by Mrs. B. A clear and concise 1-2 paragraph summary is provided of the article including key points and evidence All adaptation vocabulary is correctly and ly used Summary is mostly clear and provides key points, but lacks evidence/facts Most adaptation vocabulary is correctly and ly used Summary is unclear and lacks key points Some adaptation vocabulary is correctly and ly used 1-2 spelling or grammatical errors 3-5 spelling or grammatical errors More than 5 spelling or grammatical errors
3 15 Point Assessments Extraterrestrial (15 points) Choose a planet in our solar system. What are the living conditions on that planet (temperature, water, pressure, sunlight, oxygen, etc)? What would life look like on that planet? What types of adaptations would be needed? Include all four types of adaptations and a picture. Conditions for the planet chosen are All four adaptation types are All adaptations are purposeful and in response to planetary conditions (temperature, pressure, Adaptation descriptions are clear Image is a clear representation of organism and its adaptations, and shows work on the part of the artist Most conditions for the planet chosen are Three adaptation types are Most adaptations are purposeful and in response to planetary conditions (temperature, pressure, Description of some adaptations are unclear Image is, but does not provide a clear representation of organism/adaptations or lacks work on the part of the artist (contains mostly plagiarized elements) Most conditions for the planet chosen are in Two or less adaptation types are Adaptations are random and lack purpose Description of adaptations are unclear or missing Image is either not, is primarily plagiarized and not the work of the artist, or is too messy to demonstrate clearly the organism and its adaptations Extremophile research (15 points) Research an extremophile (an organism that lives in an extreme environment). Create and present a keynote that discusses the organism (include the scientific name), what it eats, its habitat, and adaptations. Extremophile scientific name in correct format Adaptations are ly Habitat is ly Forms of energy is correctly Keynote and presentation is clear and free of spelling and grammatical errors (1-2 ok) Extremophile scientific name but not in correct format Adaptations are but some are in Habitat is but is not Forms of energy is but not Keynote and presentation is mostly clear, but contains some spelling and grammatical errors (3-5) Extremophile scientific name not Adaptations are not Habitat is not Forms of energy is not Keynote and presentation is not clear and contains many spelling and grammatical errors
