Oscillating Systems Modeling: Rubric for Model Connections Report

• Objective: Students will be able to determine how the parameters of the symbolic model affect the coefficients of the mathematical model.

Beginning	ü Appropriate collection of models ü Correct identification of varying symbolic model parameter
Developing	ü Appropriate initial observations about how the mathematical models are changing
Accomplished	ü Correctly record varying data from both models ü Correctly identify relationship between varying symbolic model parameters and mathematical model coefficients ü Description and presentation of calculations used to identify relationships.
Exemplary	ü Summation of findings using appropriate science and mathematical terminology
Extensions	ü General observations and explanations about mathematical model parameters that do not change despite varying symbolic model parameters
