Physical Science

• Investigates the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. 3-PS2-1 

• Makes observations and/or measurements of object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motions. 3-PS2-2 

• Determines cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. 3-PS2-3 

• Defines a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets. 3-PS2-4 

Engineering Standards (All Year) 

• Defines 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-ETS1-1 

• Generates 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-ETS1-2 

• Plans and carries 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. 3-5-ETS1-3
