Title: 3-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Performance Expectation: Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.* [Clarification Statement: Examples of problems could include constructing a latch to keep a door shut and creating a device to keep two moving objects from touching each other.]
Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
PS2.B: 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.
Science & Engineering Practices: Asking Questions and Defining Problems Define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
Crosscutting Concepts: Connections to Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science: Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology Scientific discoveries about the natural world can often lead to new and improved technologies, which are developed through the Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science process.
