Pour (1point)
Fair (2 points) Gadget is roughly made but has a stable structure. Equipment provides opportunities to develop fundamental understandings of key chemistry concepts, principles, theories, or laws
Good (3 points) Gadget is well made but needs a little refinement. Equipment efficiently provides opportunities to develop fundamental understandings of key chemistry concepts, principles, theories, or laws
Very Good (4 points) The gadget is made very well.
