Use evidence to illustrate that density is a property that can be used to identify samples of matter.

Clarification statement: Emphasis should be on students measuring the masses and volumes of regular and irregular shaped objects, calculating their densities, and identifying the samples of matter.

Note: this is a NYSED-specific performance expectation that is different from the Next Generation Science Standards.

Assessment

What assessment of MS-PS1-7 might look like on a NY state exam.

Exam Cluster Question
Spring 2026 Acoustic Levitation Question 8
Spring 2025 Maple Syrup Production 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 an argument, identify the evidence that illustrates that density is a property that can be used to identify a given sample(s) of matter.
Level 2: Given evidence, identify the argument that illustrates that density is a property that can be used to identify a given sample(s) of matter.
Level 3: Use evidence to illustrate that density is a property that can be used to identify samples of matter.
Level 4: Using measurements, calculations and observations as evidence, construct an argument, using density values, that either supports or refutes the identity of various samples of matter.

Resources

Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS1-7.

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation MS-PS1-7 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Engaging in Argument from Evidence
    • Construct and present oral and written arguments supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
    • (NYSED) Each substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it.
Crosscutting Concepts
  • Patterns
    • Macroscopic patterns are related to the nature of microscopic and atomic-level structure.
