Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
Clarification statement: Examples of devices could include an insulated box, a solar cooker, and a Styrofoam cup.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.
Performance Level Descriptions
PLDs communicate the knowledge and skills expected of students to demonstrate proficiency in each Learning Standard. NYS assessments classify student performance into one of four levels.
Apply scientific principles to design, construct and test a device that minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer through a designed or natural system and explain how this device could be used to solve a real-world problem.
Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
Given a simple design, construct and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer in a designed system.
Given a device, test the device and determine whether it minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer in a designed system.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS3-3 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
- Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- PS3.A: Definitions of Energy
- (NYSED) Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of matter. The relationship between the temperature and the total energy of a system depends on the types, phases (states), and amounts of matter present.
- PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer
- Energy is spontaneously transferred out of hotter regions or objects and into colder ones.
- ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems
- The more precisely a design task’s criteria and constraints can be defined, the more likely it is that the designed solution will be successful. Specification of constraints includes consideration of scientific principles and other relevant knowledge that is likely to limit possible solutions. (secondary to MS-PS3-3)
- ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions
- A solution needs to be tested, and then modified on the basis of the test results in order to improve it. There are systematic processes for evaluating solutions with respect to how well they meet the criteria and constraints of a problem. (secondary to MS-PS3-3)
Crosscutting Concepts
- Energy and Matter
- The transfer of energy can be tracked as energy flows through a designed or natural system.
