Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred by electric currents.
Clarification statement: Emphasis should be on arrangements of circuit components in series and parallel circuits.
Assessment boundary: Assessment will be limited to qualitative analysis and reasoning.
Note: this is a NYSED-specific performance expectation that is different from the Next Generation Science Standards.
Grade 8 Science Test Questions
No released Grade 8 science test questions for MS-PS3-6 have been added to the wiki yet.
Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-PS3-6 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS3-6.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS3-6 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
- Collect data to produce data to serve as the bases for evidence to answer scientific questions or test design solutions under a range of conditions.
- PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer
- (NYSED) An electric circuit is a closed path in which an electric current can exist.
- Energy and Matter
- The transfer of energy can be tracked as energy flows through a designed or natural system.
