Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-ETS1-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Identify one criterium or constraint to a design problem, from those provided, that best ensures a successful solution to a potential impact on people or the natural environment.
Level 2: Define the constraints of a design problem, taking into account relevant scientific principles, or potential impacts on people or the natural environment, that may limit possible solutions.
Level 3: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
Level 4: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem, specifying the importance of each, with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.

Performance expectation MS-ETS1-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Asking Questions and Defining Problems
    • Define a design problem that can be solved through the development of an object, tool, process, or system and includes multiple criteria and constraints, including scientific knowledge that may limit possible solutions.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • 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.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • There are no Crosscutting Concepts linked to this standard.
