K-2-ETS1-3
Age / Subject
K-2 Env. Science
Description
Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
NGSS 4-ESS3-2
Age / Subject
4th Grade, Environmental Science
Description
Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans
NGSS MS-ETS1-1
Age / Subject
Middle School / Engineering Design
Description
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.

NGSS MS-PS3-5
Age / Subject
Middle School / Phs. Science
Description
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
NGSS MS-PS3-2
Age / Subject
Middle School / Phs. Science
Description
Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.
