Develop a model and use mathematical representations to describe waves that includes frequency, wavelength, and how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.

Clarification statement: Emphasis is on describing waves with both qualitative and quantitative thinking.

Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to comparing standard repeating waves of only one type (transverse or longitudinal).

Assessment

What assessment of MS-PS4-1 might look like on a NY state exam.

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.

☐
Level 1: Given a model, identify the frequency, wavelength, or amplitude of a wave or identify a relationship between them.
☐
Level 2: Given a model, qualitatively identify the frequency, wavelength, or amplitude of a wave or explain the relationship between the amplitude and energy in a wave.
☐
Level 3: Develop a model and use mathematical representations to describe waves that includes frequency, wavelength, and how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
☐
Level 4: Develop a model and use mathematical representations to describe waves that includes frequency, wavelength, and how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave and predict what would happen if one of these variables was changed.

Resources

Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS4-1.

Performance expectation MS-PS4-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
    • Use mathematical representations to describe and/or support scientific conclusions and design solutions.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • PS4.A: Wave Properties
    • A simple wave has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • Patterns
    • Graphs and charts can be used to identify patterns in data.
