Latest revision as of 22:36, 20 September 2026

Evaluate questions about the advantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information.

Clarification statement: Examples of advantages could include that digital information is stable because it can be stored reliably in computer memory, transferred easily, and copied and shared rapidly. Disadvantages could include issues of easy deletion, security, and theft.

Assessment

What assessment of HS-PS4-2 might look like on a NY state exam.

Performance Level Descriptions

PLDs communicate the knowledge and skills expected of students to demonstrate proficiency in each Learning Standard. NYS assessments classify student performance into one of five levels.

☐
Level 1: Identify given transmission data or storage data as being either analog or digital.
☐
Level 2: List the advantages or disadvantages of using a digital transmission and/or storage of information.
☐
Level 3: Evaluate a question about an advantage and/or disadvantage of using a digital transmission and/or storage of information.
☐
Level 4: Evaluate questions about the advantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information.
☐
Level 5: Evaluate questions about the advantages and disadvantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information using multiple sources of scientific and technical information.

Resources

Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of HS-PS4-2.

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation HS-PS4-2 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
    • Evaluate questions that challenge the premise(s) of an argument, the interpretation of a data set, or the suitability of a design.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • PS4.A: Wave Properties
    • Information can be digitized (e.g., a picture stored as the values of an array of pixels); in this form, it can be stored reliably in computer memory and sent over long distances as a series of wave pulses.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • Stability and Change
    • Systems can be designed for greater or lesser stability.
