Standards Covered
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP2
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP3
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4-PS3-1
Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
4-PS3-3
Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
3-PS2-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
3-PS2-2
Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
3-5-ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
3-5-ETS1-3
