Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-ETS1-2 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-ETS1-2.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-ETS1-2 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Engaging in Argument from Evidence
- Evaluate competing design solutions based on jointly developed and agreed-upon design criteria.
- ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions
- There are systematic processes for evaluating solutions with respect to how well they meet the criteria and constraints of a problem.
- There are no Crosscutting Concepts linked to this standard.
