Grade 6
MS-PS2-1
Apply Newton?s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object?s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-3
Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-4
Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects.
October 1, 2018MS-PS2-5
Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
October 1, 2018MS-PS3-1
Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object.
October 1, 2018MS-PS3-2
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.
October 1, 2018MS-PS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
October 1, 2018MS-PS3-4
Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
October 1, 2018MS-PS3-5
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
October 1, 2018MS-PS4-1
Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
October 1, 2018MS-PS4-2
Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
