Core Idea - Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

[3.PS.2.4] - Define a simple design problem that can be solved by using interactions between magnets.* Clarification Statement: Examples of problems could include constructing a latch to keep a door shut and creating a device to keep two moving objects from touching each other.

Predecessor Standards:

No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • 7.PS.2.5
    Use scientific evidence to argue that fields exist between objects with mass, between magnetic objects, and between electrically charged objects that exert force on each other even though the objects are not in contact. Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on evidence that demonstrates the existence of fields, limited to gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields. State Assessment Boundary: Calculations of force are not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • RI.3.3
    Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, mathematical ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
  • W.3.2
    Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
  • 3.PS.2.3
    Conduct an investigation to determine the nature of the forces between two magnets based on their orientations and distance relative to each other. Clarification Statement: Focus should be on forces produced by magnetic objects that are easily manipulated.
  • 3.ETS.1.1
    Define a simple design problem that reflects a need or a want. Include criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost that a potential solution must meet.*
