Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.

Note: this is a performance expectation for four classes: Earth and Space Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Level 1: Identify the solution, from those provided, that addresses a smaller, more manageable real-world problem. June 2026 Chemistry Question 46, January 2026 Biology Question 28, June 2025 Earth and Space Science Question 45
Level 2: Given a complex real-world problem that has been broken down into smaller, more manageable problems, identify a solution to one smaller problem that can be solved through engineering. June 2026 Chemistry Question 22, June 2026 Physics Question 15
Level 3: Given a complex real-world problem, identify one smaller more manageable problem and describe a solution to that problem that can be solved through engineering. August 2026 Chemistry Question 12, August 2026 Biology Question 39
Level 4: Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
Level 5: For a complex real-world problem, design multiple solutions to sub-problems based on student generated data and/or scientific information from other sources. Describe the rationale, criteria, and constraints of each sub-problem.
Notice: PLD levels!

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation HS-ETS1-2 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
    • Design a solution to a complex real-world problem, based on scientific knowledge, student-generated sources of evidence, prioritized criteria, and tradeoff considerations
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • EST1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution
    • Criteria may need to be broken down into simpler ones that can be approached systematically, and decisions about the priority of certain criteria over others (trade-offs) may be needed.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • N/A
