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.
| Exam | Cluster | Question |
|---|---|---|
| Spring 2026 | Acoustic Levitation | Question 7 |
| Spring 2024 | Energy Transfer by Waves | Question 1 |
| Energy Transfer by Waves | Question 5 |
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.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
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.
