[PS2] Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

SCI-HS.PS2.03 Apply scientific principles, such as Newton's 1st & 3rd Laws, and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.

Clarification Statement:
Physical Science: Examples of evaluation and refinement could include determining the success of the device at protecting an object from damage and modifying the design to improve it. Examples of a device could include a football helmet or a parachute.
Physics: Physics includes algebraic manipulations.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
PS2.A: Forces and Motion Momentum is conserved within the system and the surroundings.
ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem Criteria and constraints also include satisfying any requirements set by society, and they should be quantified to the extent possible and stated in such a way that one can tell if a given design meets them. ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution Criteria may need to be broken down into simpler ones that can be approached systematically.
