Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions.
Clarification statement: Examples of data could include similarities of rock and fossil types on different continents, the shapes of the continents (including continental shelves), and the locations of ocean structures (such as ridges, fracture zones, and trenches).
Assessment boundary: Paleomagnetic anomalies in oceanic and continental crust are not assessed.
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.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-ESS2-3.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
Assessment
What assessment of MS-ESS2-3 might look like on a NY state exam.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-ESS2-3 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Analyzing and Interpreting Data
- Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for phenomena.
- ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions
- Maps of ancient land and water patterns, based on investigations of rocks and fossils, make clear how Earth’s plates have moved great distances, collided, and spread apart.
- Patterns
- Patterns in rates of change and other numerical relationships can provide information about natural systems.
