Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth’s materials and the flow of energy that drives this process.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on the processes of melting, crystallization, weathering, deformation, and sedimentation, which act together to form minerals and rocks through the cycling of Earth’s materials.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include the specific identification and naming of minerals and rocks but could include the general classification of rocks as igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-ESS2-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Use a model to identify one process responsible for the formation of sedimentary, igneous and/or metamorphic rocks. Spring 2024 · Q33
Level 2: Use a model to describe a process that cycles Earth’s materials and/or the flow of energy that drives this process. Spring 2026 · Q38 Spring 2026 · Q11 Spring 2024 · Q34
Level 3: Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth’s materials and the flow of energy that drives this process.
Level 4: Develop and use multiple models to describe the cycling of Earth’s materials and the flow of internal energy that drives these processes.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-ESS2-1.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-ESS2-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Developing and Using Models
- Develop and use a model to describe phenomena.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- ESS2.A: Earth’s Materials and Systems
- All Earth processes are the result of energy flowing and matter cycling within and among the planet’s systems. This energy is derived from the sun and Earth’s hot interior. The energy that flows and matter that cycles produce chemical and physical changes in Earth’s materials and living organisms.
- ESS2.E: Biogeology
- Living things affect the physical characteristics of their regions.
Crosscutting Concepts
