Revision as of 13:04, 13 October 2026

Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.

Clarification statement: Examples of practical problems could include the impact of collisions between two cars, between a car and stationary objects, and between a meteor and a space vehicle.

Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to vertical or horizontal interactions in one dimension.

Performance Level Descriptions

Every Grade 8 Science Test question on MS-PS2-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.

Level 1: Given a problem and given possible solutions involving the motion of two colliding objects, determine the best solution by using Newton’s Third Law.
Level 2: Given a problem, describe the motion of one of the objects when two objects collide applying Newton’s Third Law.
Level 3: Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
Level 4: Plan and carry out an investigation, applying Newton’s Third Law, to design solutions to problems involving the motion of two colliding objects.


Resources

NGSS Dimensions

Performance expectation MS-PS2-1 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices
  • Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
    • Apply scientific ideas or principles to design an object, tool, process, or system.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
  • PS2.A: Forces and Motion
    • For any pair of interacting objects, the force exerted by the first object on the second object is equal in strength to the force that the second object exerts on the first, but in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).
Crosscutting Concepts
  • Cause and Effect
    • Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
