Performance Level Descriptions
Every Regents exam question on HS-ETS1-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Given a major global challenge, identify the criteria or constraint for the given solution that best accounts for societal needs or wants. Aug 2026 Chem · Q40 Chem Sample · Smartphone Chemistry Q4 Aug 2026 Bio · Q44 June 2026 Bio · Q27
Level 2: Given a major global challenge, describe the qualitative or quantitative criteria or constraint for the given solution that best accounts for societal needs or wants. Aug 2026 Bio · Q48 Jan 2026 Bio · Q5 Jan 2026 Bio · Q6 June 2026 Phys · Q35 Aug 2025 ESS · Q40 June 2025 ESS · Q32
Level 3: Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative or quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants. Jan 2026 Bio · Q27
Level 4: Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative or quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.
Level 5: Evaluate two or more major global challenges to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions, which could include new technologies that account for societal needs and wants.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of HS-ETS1-1.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation HS-ETS1-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Asking Questions and Defining Problems
- Analyze complex real-world problems by specifying criteria and constraints for successful solutions.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems
- Criteria and constraints also include satisfying any requirements set by society, such as taking issues of risk mitigation into account, and they should be quantified to the extent possible and stated in such a way that one can tell if a given design meets them.
- Humanity faces major global challenges today, such as the need for supplies of clean water and food or for energy sources that minimize pollution, which can be addressed through engineering. These global challenges also may have manifestations in local communities.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science: Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World
- New technologies can have deep impacts on society and the environment, including some that were not anticipated. Analysis of costs and benefits is a critical aspect of decisions about technology.
