1st QuarterSept 4th-Oct 12thElectricity and Magentism Physical Sciences3.PS2.B Plan and conduct investigations to determine the cause and effect relationship of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. [Clarification Statement: Examples of an electric force could include the force on hair from an electrically charged balloon and the electrical forces between a charged rod and pieces of paper; examples of a magnetic force could include the force between two permanent magnets, the force between an electromagnet and steel paperclips, and the force exerted by one magnet versus the force exerted by two magnets. Examples of cause and effect relationships could include how the distance between objects affects strength of the force and how the orientation of magnets affects the direction of the magnetic force.]Balanced Forces

Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science3.ETS1.A 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.ETS1.B 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.EST1.C Plan and carryout fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved
