Description
This bundle of resources contains quality, EDITABLE sample assessment, test questions and performance tasks for ALL of the NGSS Middle School Physical Science Performance Expectations MS-PS. It includes 85 questions or tasks total and over 130 pages of worksheets which can be edited, copied and pasted into various forms of assessments to align to the NGSS. Ideas for differentiation, answers keys, and links to other online resources to help teach the standards are also provided! See sample questions below!!!!!!!!!!
Simply edit, print and assign or attach to Google Classroom (or whatever platform you use!)

All Physical Science NGSS Standards are included in this bundle of bundles! I have also included my best-selling NGSS Unit Template as a bonus resource for FREE! *NOTE: Because of the complexity of design task standards such as MS-PS3-3, design task ideas are included with links to FREE public, online lesson plans.
Use these sample questions for: pre-assessments, check-ins or quizzes, unit tests, and/or for your professional growth objectives!
The questions cover the 3 dimensions of the NGSS and include:
- constructed response questions
- performance tasks
- questions with multiple components
Each Performance Expectation includes a set of questions that require students to use Science and Engineering Practices as well as Crosscutting Concepts to demonstrate understanding of the Disciplinary Core Ideas. The SEPs and CCCs are listed for each PE. Keep in mind that the tasks require more time than a standard test question, therefore, there should be fewer questions on a test which allows for more time to solve the problems.
SAMPLE Questions/Tasks:
MS-PS1-2
Imagine the experiment from question number 1 (provided in document) was repeated but the plastic baggie was not zipped shut. When the students finished their experiment, they measured the mass of the baggie of substances and it measured 0.5 grams less than before they mixed them. All materials were measured and poured properly without any spills. What scientific explanation can you give for the loss of mass? How could you test it?
MS-PS2-3
Students conducted an experiment to determine if the number of times they wrapped a wire around a nail would affect its magnetic strength. They connected each end of the wire to a battery and tested how many paperclips it could hold. They used a spring scale to measure the strength. Their results are recorded in the data table (included in document). Use this information to answer the questions below.
a. What relationship exists between the number of times the wire was wrapped and the strength?
b. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
c. Another group performed the same experiment and was not able to get any paper clips to lift off of the ground no matter how many times they wrapped the wire. Write two questions you would ask them about their experiment in order to try to understand what happened.
MS-PS3-1
A skater simulation was performed online where students observed a skater going down a U-shaped ramp. The speed of the skater was changed and the kinetic energy was recorded. The data table (included in document) shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed. Review the table and answer the questions.
a. Based off of the data, what is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy? Use evidence to support your answer.
b. Construct a graph of the data.
c. If the skater on the U-shaped ramp wanted more kinetic energy, what is one thing he could do to to increase his kinetic energy? Explain your reasoning.
d. If kinetic energy quadruples as the speed doubles, predict what the kinetic energy of the skater would be if he was traveling at 12 m/s._______ 3 m/s _______
MS-PS4-2
A student was wading through a shallow, slow moving river searching for stones. She observed a unique rock, but when she initially reached down for it, it wasn’t in the spot it appeared through the water. Observe the model below (provided in document) and answer the questions.
a. Why wasn’t she able to grab the rock on the first try?
b. In the box below, draw a new model that explains where the rock is. Be sure to explain your thinking.
