Standard: NGSS - HS-PS2 - HS-PS2-1
Short Description: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Long Description: Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
Assessment Boundary: [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to one-dimensional motion and to macroscopic objects moving at non-relativistic speeds.]
Clarification Statement: [Clarification Statement: Examples of data could include tables or graphs of position or velocity as a function of time for objects subject to a net unbalanced force, such as a falling object, an object sliding down a ramp, or a moving object being pulled by a constant force.]
Base Skill: Applied Science
Target Audience: High School

Standard: NGSS - HS-PS2 - HS-PS2-5
Short Description: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Long Description: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current.
Assessment Boundary: [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to designing and conducting investigations with provided materials and tools.]
Base Skill: Applied Science
Target Audience: High School

Standard: NGSS - HS-PS2 - HS-PS2-6
Short Description: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Long Description: Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
Assessment Boundary: [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to provided molecular structures of specific designed materials.]
Clarification Statement: [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the attractive and repulsive forces that determine the functioning of the material. Examples could include why electrically conductive materials are often made of metal, flexible but durable materials are made up of long chained molecules, and pharmaceuticals are designed to interact with specific receptors.]
