Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers, and the environment.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on the flow of energy and cycling of matter in systems such as organisms, ecosystems, and/or Earth.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include molecular explanations.
Grade 5 Science Test Questions
Released New York State Grade 5 science test questions that assess 5-LS2-1 are listed here by test and question cluster. Each link opens the question with its answer key.

Implied by this standard
- food chain – implied by "the movement of matter among plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers, and the environment" (a food web is named in the PLDs)
Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 5-LS2-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Identify the evidence in a model of a food web that shows one pathway for the transfer of matter among plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers, and/or the environment. Spring 2026 Question 31
Level 2: Use a model of a food web to describe the movement of matter among plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers, and/or the environment. Spring 2026 Question 12
Level 3: Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers, and the environment. Spring 2025 Question 21, Spring 2024 Question 25
Level 4: Develop a model that includes multiple pathways to describe the movement of matter and energy among multiple plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers and the environment.
