Earth Science
Students who demonstrate understanding can:
5-PS2-1.Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down
- MS-PS2-1 Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects
- MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
