3-PS2-1 - Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
3
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
5-PS2-1 - Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
5
Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.
MS-PS2-1 - Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
6,7,8
Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.*
3-5-ETS1-1 - Engineering Design
3,4,5
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
3-5-ETS1-2 - Engineering Design
3,4,5
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
3-5-ETS1-3 - Engineering Design
3,4,5
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
MS-ETS1-1 - Engineering Design
6,7,8
Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
MS-ETS1-2 - Engineering Design
6,7,8
Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
