Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

Clarification statement: Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of an object can make it start moving; and, balanced forces (including friction) acting on a stationary object from both sides will not produce any motion at all.

Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to one variable at a time: number, size, or direction of forces. Assessment does not include quantitative force size, only qualitative and relative. Assessment is limited to gravity being addressed as a force that pulls objects down.

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 3-PS2-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: From the data collected during an investigation, identify the given evidence that shows the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Spring 2025 · Q34 Spring 2024 · Q6
Level 2: Conduct an investigation that identifies the evidence that shows the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Spring 2025 · Q31
Level 3: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
Level 4: Plan and conduct an investigation, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials is considered, to collect evidence that shows the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Use the evidence to construct an explanation of this phenomenon.
