Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion

  • 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. (MS-PS2-2) • Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. (MS-PS2-3) • Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects. (MS-PS2-4) • 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. (MS-PS2-5) • 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. (MS-PS3-1) This project has been designed to evaluate the ability to: • Explore how force affects motion and analyze changes in motion over time. • Describe how Newton’s three laws of motion affect model systems of objects. • Express scientific information in a clear and properly communicated way.
