Forces & Motion
MS-PS- 2-1 Apply Newtons's Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
MS-PS- 2-2 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.
