Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.

Clarification statement: Examples of evidence supporting a model could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water.

Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation or defining the unseen particles.

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 5-PS1-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Identify one piece of evidence in a model, from those given, that shows matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Spring 2024 · Q20
Level 2: Given a model, describe the evidence that shows matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Spring 2025 · Q8
Level 3: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
Level 4: Develop a model, using a relative scale, to show that matter is made of particles too small to be seen and use the model to explain a real-world phenomenon.
