Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.

Clarification statement: Emphasis is on the law of conservation of matter and on physical models or drawings, including digital forms, that represent atoms.

Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include the use of atomic masses, balancing symbolic equations, or intermolecular forces.

Assessment

What assessment of MS-PS1-5 might look like on a NY state exam.

Exam Cluster Question
Spring 2026 Ammonia and the Nitrogen Cycle Question 26
Hard-Boiled Eggs Question 42
Spring 2025 Rust Question 25
Spring 2024 The Chemistry of Propane Question 51
Sample clusters Investigating Chemical Reactions Question 3

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 four levels.

Level 1: Given a model showing a chemical reaction, identify evidence that proves the total number of atoms is conserved.
Level 2: Given a model, describe how the total number of each type of atom does not change in a chemical reaction and/or that mass is conserved.
Level 3: Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.
Level 4: Develop and use a model (including balanced equations and/or atomic masses) to describe how the total number of each type of atom does not change in a chemical reaction and because of this, mass is conserved.

Resources

Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS1-5.

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation MS-PS1-5 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Developing and Using Models
    • Develop a model to describe unobservable mechanisms.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • PS1.B: Chemical Reactions
    • (NYSED) Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. When substances react, the atoms that make up the molecules rearrange, forming new substances with different properties.
    • The total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • Energy and Matter
    • Matter is conserved because atoms are conserved in physical and chemical processes.
