Develop a model and use mathematical representations to describe waves that includes frequency, wavelength, and how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on describing waves with both qualitative and quantitative thinking.
Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to comparing standard repeating waves of only one type (transverse or longitudinal).
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.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS4-1.

Assessment
What assessment of MS-PS4-1 might look like on a NY state exam.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS4-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
- Use mathematical representations to describe and/or support scientific conclusions and design solutions.
- PS4.A: Wave Properties
- A simple wave has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
- Patterns
- Graphs and charts can be used to identify patterns in data.
Connections to Other Standards
MS-PS4-1 connections to ELA, math, and other science standards as outlined by the NYS Education Department:
