Standards in this Framework
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| MS-PS1-6 | Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. |
| MS-PS2-2 | Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. |
| 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. |
| MS-PS3-3 | Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.* |
| MS-LS2-5 | Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services.* |
| MS-ETS1-1 | Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions. |
| MS-ETS1-2 | Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. |
| MS-ETS1-3 | Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success. |
| MS-ETS1-4 | Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. |
