MS-ETS1-4 | Designing and Testing Solutions
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
Performance Level Descriptions
PLDs communicate the knowledge and skills expected of students to demonstrate proficiency in each Learning Standard. NYS assessments classify student performance into one of five levels.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-ETS1-4 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Developing and Using Models
- Develop a model to generate data to test ideas about designed systems, including those representing inputs and outputs.
- ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions
- A solution needs to be tested, and then modified on the basis of the test results in order to improve it. There are systematic processes for evaluating solutions with respect to how well they meet the criteria and constraints of a problem.
- Models of all kinds are important for testing solutions.
- There are no Crosscutting Concepts linked to this standard.
Connections to Other Standards
