3-PS2
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
How do objects move and interact with each other?
Critical Thinking: Analyze how forces affect movement.
Learner’s Mindset: Explore and experiment with different motions.
Communication: Share observations and findings about motion.
What causes objects to start or stop moving?
How does the size and weight of an object affect its movement?
What happens when two objects collide?
Students will predict the movement of objects based on their size and weight.
Students will describe the effects of collisions between objects.
Next Gen Science Standards 3-PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
3-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.
3-PS2-4. Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.
