Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on descriptive relationships between kinetic energy and mass separately from kinetic energy and speed. Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds, rolling different sizes of rocks downhill, and getting hit by a wiffle ball versus a tennis ball.
Assessment boundary: Assessment could include both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of kinetic energy.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-PS3-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Identify the relationship shown in a graphical display that exists between kinetic energy and the mass of the object or between kinetic energy and the speed of an object. Spring 2025 · Q52 Spring 2024 · Q14
Level 2: Construct or interpret a graphical display of data to describe the relationship of kinetic energy to the mass of the object or to the speed of an object. Spring 2025 · Q53 Spring 2025 · Q55 Spring 2024 · Q12 Spring 2024 · Q13

Level 4: Construct and interpret multiple graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of multiple objects and kinetic energy to the speed of multiple objects.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS3-1.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS3-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Analyzing and Interpreting Data
- Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to identify linear and nonlinear relationships.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- PS3.A: Definitions of Energy
- Motion energy is properly called kinetic energy; it is proportional to the mass of the moving object and grows with the square of its speed.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Scale, Proportion and Quantity
- Proportional relationships (e.g., speed as the ratio of distance traveled to time taken) among different types of quantities provide information about the magnitude of properties and processes.
