Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 3||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |||Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. [Examples: a child swinging in a swing, a ball rolling back and forth in a bowl, and two children on a see-saw.] “||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 3||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |||Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Kindergarten||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and interactions |||Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.||Next Generation Science Standards||Kindergarten||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and interactions |||Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 4||Physical Science||Energy |||Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object & the mass of the object.||Next Generation Science Standards||Middle School||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |||Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. [Emphasis is on relative amounts of potential energy. Examples: the Earth & a roller coaster cart at varying positions on a hill, changing the direction/orientation of a magnet, & static electrical on a balloon.] [Assessment on two objects & electric, magnetic, & gravitational interactions.] ||Next Generation Science Standards||Middle School||Physical Science||Energy |||Construct, use, & present arguments to support the claim that when the motion energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.||Next Generation Science Standards||Middle School||Physical Science||Energy
