Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on synthesizing information from reliable sources about the influence of humans on genetic outcomes in artificial selection (such as genetic modification, selective breeding, gene therapy); and, on the impacts these technologies have on society.
Assessment
What assessment of MS-LS4-5 might look like on a NY state exam.
| Exam | Cluster | Question |
|---|---|---|
| Spring 2025 | Sickle Cell Anemia | Question 41 |
| Spring 2024 | Variation and Corn | Question 6 |
| Variation and Corn | Question 7 | |
| Variation and Corn | Question 9 |
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 information, identify a trait that has been changed in an organism by technology or human influence.
☐
Level 2: Given information, describe how a specific technology has changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
☐
Level 3: Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
☐
Level 4: Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms and describe situations in which these technologies should and should not be applied.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-LS4-5.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-LS4-5 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
- Gather, read, and synthesize information from multiple appropriate sources and assess the credibility, accuracy, and possible bias of each publication and methods used, and describe how they are supported or not supported by evidence.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- LS4.B: Natural Selection
- In artificial selection, humans have the capacity to influence certain characteristics of organisms by selective breeding. Once can choose desired parental traits determined by genes, which are then passed on to offspring.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Cause and Effect
- Phenomena may have more than one cause, and some cause and effect relationships in systems can only be described using probability.
