| Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. [Examples: the electrical forces between a charged rod and pieces of paper; the force between 2 permanent magnets, the force between an electromagnet & steel paperclips, Focus on forces produced by objects that can be manipulated by students, & electrical interactions – limited to static.] | Next Generation Science Standards | Grade 3 | Physical Science | Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |
| Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets. [ Examples: make a door latch; creating a device to keep two moving objects from touching each other.] | Next Generation Science Standards | Grade 3 | Physical Science | Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |
| Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. | Next Generation Science Standards | Grade 2 | Physical Science | Matter and its Interactions |
| Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. | Next Generation Science Standards | Grade 2 | Physical Science | Matter and its Interactions |
