Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
Clarification statement: Examples of environmental changes could include both natural and human-influenced changes in land characteristics, water distribution, temperature, food, and other organisms.
Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to a single environmental change. Assessment does not include the greenhouse effect or climate change.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 3-LS4-4 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Identify the problem caused when the environment changes, from those provided, that matches the given solution to that problem.
Level 2: Identify the given claim and solution, that matches the problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change. Spring 2025 · Q25 Spring 2024 · Q29
Level 3: Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
Level 4: Make a claim about the merits of multiple solutions to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change. Cite relevant evidence about how the solution meets the criteria and constraints of the problem.
