Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.

Clarification statement: Examples of data could include average temperature, precipitation, and wind direction.

Assessment boundary: Assessment of graphical displays is limited to pictographs and bar graphs. Assessment does not include climate change.

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 3-ESS2-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Given data of weather conditions from a data table or a graphical display, identify the season during which the weather is occurring.
Level 2: Given data from a table or graphical display, identify typical patterns of weather conditions expected during a particular season. Spring 2026 Question 25, Spring 2026 Question 26, Spring 2024 Question 10, Spring 2024 Question 11
Level 3: Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
Level 4: Represent data in tables and graphical displays to find patterns in weather conditions to compare typical weather conditions during two seasons.
