* I tried to construct a periscope. Glass mirrors/materials are not fixed securely and safely. I tried to demonstrate how to make a periscope in the leaflet by writing an:

• Aim • Materials • Procedure

I constructed a periscope that is functional sometimes The periscope has some parts not fixed securely and/or safely. My leaflet demonstrated the processes in making the periscope.

• Aim • Materials • Procedure

I constructed a periscope that is functional but the image produced is slightly unclear Glass mirrors/materials are fixed in my periscope. My leaflet demonstrated clearly how to make a periscope by stating:

• Aim • Materials • Procedure

I constructed a periscope that is functional and produces a clear image Glass mirrors/materials are fixed securely and safely in my periscope. My leaflet demonstrated clearly and scientifically instructions on how to make a functional periscope by stating:

and evaluating

I tried to demonstrate how my periscope works in the leaflet I tried to state the weaknesses of how we constructed the periscope and how these

My leaflet stated how the periscope works with some scientific inaccuracies. I stated the weaknesses of how we constructed the periscope

My leaflet demonstrated a good understanding of how the periscope works using the properties of light I described the major weaknesses of how we constructed the periscope

My leaflet explained clearly and scientifically how the periscope works using the properties of light I explained the major weaknesses of

weaknesses affected the functionality of the periscope I tried to state improvements for the identified weaknesses

and how these weaknesses affected the functionality of the periscope I stated improvements for the identified weaknesses

and how these weaknesses affected the functionality of the periscope I described realistic improvements for the identified weaknesses

how we constructed the periscope and how these weaknesses affected the functionality of the periscope scientifically I explained realistic and relevant improvements for the identified weaknesses
