Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy during a chemical and/or physical process.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on the design, controlling the transfer of energy to the environment, and modification of a device using factors such as type and amount of a substance. Examples of designs could include combining vinegar and baking soda, activating glow sticks at various temperatures and dissolving ammonium chloride or calcium chloride.
Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to the criteria of substance amounts, reaction time, and observed temperature changes.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-PS1-6 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-PS1-6.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS1-6 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
- Undertake a design project, engaging in the design cycle, to construct and/or implement a solution that meets specific design criteria and constraints.
- PS1.B: Chemical Reactions
- Some chemical reactions release energy, others absorb energy.
- Energy and Matter
- The transfer of energy can be tracked as energy flows through a designed or natural system.
