Title: 5-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Performance Expectation: Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down. [Clarification Statement: “Down” is a local description of the direction that points toward the center of the spherical Earth.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include mathematical representation of gravitational force.]
Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
PS2.B: Types of Interactions The gravitational force of Earth acting on an object near Earth’s surface pulls that object toward the planet’s center.
Science & Engineering Practices: Engaging in Argument from Evidence Support an argument with evidence, data, or a model.
Crosscutting Concepts: Cause and Effect Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified and used to explain change.
California Environmental Principles and Concepts:
N/A
California Common Core State Standards Connections:
ELA/Literacy RI.5.1: Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. RI.5.9: Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably. W.5.1.a–d: Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information.
DCI Connections:
Connections to other DCIs in fifth grade: N/A Articulation across grade-levels: 3.PS2.A; 3.PS2.B; MS.PS2.B; MS.ESS1.B; MS.ESS2.C
