Machine is partially labeled with the required information (work, energy conversions, but no clear explanations) Machine is mostly labeled with the required information. Relatively simple to figure out what step is next. Machine is completely labeled and easy to follow. Can be followed and understood by anyone. Work and energy conversions are clearly explained.

Labeled

Machine is not labeled with any information. Viewer is left to figure out exactly how it works.

Construction (1)

Uses only one type of simple machine.

Uses two different simple Uses three to four Uses a minimum of five machines to smash the different simple machines different simple machines grape. in design. in design. Construction includes 7-9 chain reactions. Reflection includes responses to all the given questions on the Expectation Guide, but are not coherent. Construction includes the required 10 chain reactions. Reflection is easily understood and clearly addresses all the questions on the Expectation Guide in a well written form.
