Plan and conduct an investigation to demonstrate that mixtures are combinations of substances.

Clarification statement: Emphasis should be on analyzing the physical changes that occur as mixtures are formed and/or separated. Examples of common mixtures could include salt water, oil and vinegar, and air.

Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to separation by evaporation, filtration and magnetism.

Note: this is a NYSED-specific performance expectation that is different from the Next Generation Science Standards.

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-PS1-8 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Given an investigation and data, identify the substances that were physically combined to create the mixture.
Level 2: Conduct a given investigation to provide evidence that mixtures are physical combinations of substances.
Level 3: Plan and conduct an investigation to demonstrate that mixtures are combinations of substances.
Level 4: Plan and conduct multiple scientific investigations to provide evidence that mixtures are physical combinations of substances.


Resources

Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS1-8.

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation MS-PS1-8 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
    • Plan and conduct an investigation to demonstrate that mixtures are combinations of substances.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
    • Mixtures are physical combinations of one or more samples of matter and can be separated by physical means.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • Patterns
    • Macroscopic patterns are related to the nature of microscopic and atomic-level structure.
