Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-LS1-8 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Given information, identify a sensory receptor and the resulting response (immediate behavior) of the organism, from those provided, due to the stimuli detected. Spring 2025 · Q23
Level 2: Given information about a sensory receptor that responded to a stimulus, describe the organism’s immediate behavior and/or storage as memories as a result of this stimulus. Spring 2025 · Q20
Level 3: Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli, resulting in immediate behavior and/or storage as memories.
Level 4: Gather and synthesize information from multiple sources to explain how all sensory receptors work to detect stimuli, and describe how organisms respond to these stimuli in terms of immediate behaviors and/or as memories.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-LS1-8.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-LS1-8 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
- LS1.D: Information Processing
- Each sense receptor responds to different inputs (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical), transmitting signals to the brain, which are processed to result in immediate behaviors or memories.
- (NYSED) Plants respond to stimuli such as gravity (geotropism) and light (phototropism).
Crosscutting Concepts
- Cause and Effect
- Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
