3-PS2-3 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. |
Clarification Statement: Examples of an electric force could include the force on hair from an electrically charged balloon and the electrical forces between a charged rod and pieces of paper; examples of a magnetic force could include the force between two permanent magnets, the force between an electromagnet and steel paperclips, and the force exerted by one magnet versus the force exerted by two magnets. Examples of cause and effect relationships could include how the distance between objects affects strength of the force and how the orientation of magnets affects the direction of the magnetic force.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to forces produced by objects that can be manipulated by students, and electrical interactions are limited to static electricity.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
|
Cause and Effect:
- Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified, tested, and used to explain change.
|
Asking Questions (for science) and Defining Problems (for engineering):
- Asking questions and defining problems in grades 3â5 builds on grades Kâ2 experiences and progresses to specifying qualitative relationships.
- Ask questions that can be investigated based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships.
|
Types of Interactions:
- Electric, and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and their distances apart and, for forces between two magnets, on their orientation relative to each other.
