Clarification Statement - S.3.PS.2.3.CS:
Examples of an electric force could include the force on hair from an electrically charged balloon and the electrical forces between a charged rod and pieces of paper; examples of a magnetic force could include the force between two permanent magnets, the

Assessment Boundary - S.3.PS.2.3.AB:
Assessment is limited to forces produced by objects that can be manipulated by students, and electrical interactions are limited to static electricity.

Science and Engineering Practices - 3-5.SEP1.1:
Ask questions that can be investigated based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.3.PS.2.3.DCI:
PS2.B: Types of Interactions •Electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the object s be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and their distances apart and, for forces between two magnets, on their orientation relative to each other.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC2.4:
Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified, tested, and used to explain change.
