Title: HS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Performance Expectation: Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on both quantitative and conceptual descriptions of gravitational and electric fields.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to systems with two objects.]
Disciplinary Core Idea(s):
PS2.B: Types of Interactions Newton’s law of universal gravitation and Coulomb’s law provide the mathematical models to describe and predict the effects of gravitational and electrostatic forces between distant objects. Forces at a distance are explained by fields (gravitational, electric, and magnetic) permeating space that can transfer energy through space. Magnets or electric currents cause magnetic fields; electric charges or changing magnetic fields cause electric fields.
Science & Engineering Practices: Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking Use mathematical representations of phenomena to describe explanations. Connections to Nature of Science: Science Models, Laws, Mechanisms, and Theories Explain Natural Phenomena Theories and laws provide explanations in science. Laws are statements or descriptions of the relationships among observable phenomena.
Crosscutting Concepts: Patterns Different patterns may be observed at each of the scales at which a system is studied and can provide evidence for causality in explanations of phenomena.
