GRADE 6 SCIENCE
Unit 5: Types of Interactions
(5 weeks)
Performance Expectations
MS-PS2-5. Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
​
MS-PS2-3. Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces
​
MS-PS2-4. Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects.
​
Standards
