Exploration Question 1 How can I communicate as a scientist?
NGSS SEP Communicate scientific and/or technical information orally and/or in written formats, including various forms of media as well as tables, diagrams, and charts. I can: communicate rules that should be followed as a scientist. communicate safety rules to my classmates.	Safety Science Rules	Create a Science Rules Notebook Draw a scientist
Exploration Question 2 How do equal and unequal forces on an object affect the object?
NGSS PS2.A Forces and Motion Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object's speed or direction of motion 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. NGSS PS2.B Types of Interactions Objects in contact exert forces on each other. NGSS SEP Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as teh basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered. I can identify and describe how objects move. conduct an investigation and collect data to form a conclusion explain the changes in selected motion patterns using the relationship between force and mass. conduct an investigation and collect data to form a conclusion about friction. illustrate and explain how forces interact with and affect an object using a force diagram. invent something new using gravity. investigate how mass and air affect falling ojbects. plan an investigation that demonstrates how design can affect the motion of a ball. make observation and collect data on how different surfaces can affect the motion of a ball. design a plan by drawing and labeling. use a design plan to create a model. communicate the design process for my model.

Exploration Question 3 How can patterns of motion predict future motion?
PS2.A Forces and Motion The patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it. (Boundary: Technical terms, such as magnitude, velocity, momentum, and vector quantity, are not introduced at this level, but the concept that some quantities need both size and direction to be described is developed.) NGSS SEP Make observations and/or measurments to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution. I Can: investigate how mass affects the motion of a pendulum. predict furture motion of objects using patterns of motion and data collected. investigate how string length affects teh motion of a pendulum. design an investigation to measure patterns of motion and predict future motion. conduct an investigation to measure patterns of motion and predict future motion. predict future motion using data collected from an investigation. investigate electric forces between a pair of objects. investigate magnetic forces between ojects. explore using magnetic forces to move an object with making contract. ask questions about force that can be investiated based on cause and effect relationships. ask and answer questions about force and cause and effect relationships based on my investigation. define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Exploration Question 4 How can objects interact with each other without contact?
PS2.B Types of interactions: Electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and thier distances apart and for forces between two magnets, on their orientation relative to each other. NGSS SEP Ask qusetions that can be investigated based on patterns such as cuase and effect relationships. I Can: investigate electric forces between a pair of objects. investigate electric forces between a pair of objects. investigate magnetic forces between objects. explore using magnetic forces to move an object with making contact. ask questions about force that can be investigated based on cause and effect relationships. ask and answer questions about force and cause and effect relationships based on my investigation.

Exporation Question 5 How can I solve a simple problem using magnets?
PS2-4 Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets. PS2.B Types of Interactions Electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and thier distances apart and for forces between two magnets, on thier orientation relative to each other.
