MS-PS2-5 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. |
Clarification Statement: Examples of this phenomenon could include the interactions of magnets, electrically-charged strips of tape, and electrically-charged pith balls. Examples of investigations could include first-hand experiences or simulations.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
|
Cause and Effect:
- Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
|
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations:
- Planning and carrying out investigations to answer questions or test solutions to problems in 6â8 builds on Kâ5 experiences and progresses to include investigations that use multiple variables and provide evidence to support explanations or design solutions.
- Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence that can meet the goals of the investigation.
|
Types of Interactions:
- Forces that act at a distance (electric, magnetic, and gravitational) can be explained by fields that extend through space and can be mapped by their effect on a test object (a charged object, or a ball, respectively).
