Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

Clarification statement: Assessment does not include quantitative measures of changes in the speed of an object or on any precise or quantitative definition of energy.

Grade 5 Science Test Questions

Released New York State Grade 5 science test questions that assess 4-PS3-1 are listed here by test and question cluster. Each link opens the question with its answer key.

Vocabulary

Terms from the Elementary Science Glossary that come from this standard or from the released Grade 5 Science Test questions that assess it.

From this standard
  • energy
  • evidence
  • explanation
  • investigation
  • observation
  • quantitative
  • simulation
  • speed
From released test questions
Implied by this standard
  • kinetic energy – implied by "relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object" and, in 4-PS3-3, "the change in the energy due to the change in speed"

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 4-PS3-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Identify the explanation, from those given, that supports the evidence that relates the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
Level 2: Identify the evidence that supports an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
Level 3: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. Spring 2024 · Q5
Level 4: Use multiple types of evidence (e.g., observations, investigations, simulations) to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
