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
Essential Questions

What type of interactions occurs between forces?
How can force fields be demonstrated?
How do electromagnetic forces behave and what affects their strength?
What factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?
