Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
Clarification statement: Examples could include Doppler effect, solar cells capturing light and converting it to electricity; medical imaging; and communications technology.
Assessment boundary: Assessments are limited to qualitative information. Assessments do not include band theory.
Assessment
What assessment of HS-PS4-5 might look like on a NY state exam.
| Exam | Cluster | Question |
|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | Kidney Stone Detection and Removal | Question 6 |
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 five levels.
☐
Level 1: Given information about a technological device, identify a principle of wave behavior and/or wave interactions with matter that is used to transmit and/or capture information and/or energy.
☐
Level 2: Given information about a technological device, support or refute a claim that explains a principle of wave behavior and/or wave interactions with matter that is used to transmit and/or capture information and/or energy.
☐
Level 3: Given information about a technological device, explain how the device uses a principle of wave behavior and/or wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
☐
Level 4: Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
☐
Level 5: Communicate technical information to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of a technological device that uses principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation HS-PS4-5 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
- Communicate technical information or ideas (e.g., about phenomena and/or the process of development and the design and performance of a proposed process or system) in multiple formats (including orally, graphically, textually, and mathematically).
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- PS4.A: Wave Properties
- Information can be digitized (e.g., a picture stored as the values of an array of pixels); in this form, it can be stored reliably in computer memory and sent over long distances as a series of wave pulses.
- PS4.C: Information Technologies and Instrumentation
- Multiple technologies based on the understanding of waves and their interactions with matter are part of everyday experiences in the modern world (e.g., medical imaging, communications, scanners) and in scientific research. They are essential tools for producing, transmitting, and capturing signals and for storing and interpreting the information contained in them.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Cause and Effect
- Systems can be designed to cause a desired effect.
