Next Generation Science Standards For this Lesson
Next Generation Science Standards Performance Expectations for This Lesson
MS-PS2-2.
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.
Next Generation Science Standards Practices, Core Ideas and Crosscutting Concepts
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
• Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence that can meet the goals of the investigation.
• Apply scientific ideas or principles to design an object, tool, process or system.
PS2.A: Forces and Motion
The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.
Stability and Change
Explanations of
stability and change
in natural or designed
systems can be
constructed by
examining the
changes over time
and forces at different
scales.
Next Generation Science Standards Connections to Other DCI’s in Middle School
PS3.A: Definitions of Energy
Motion energy is properly called kinetic energy; it is proportional to the mass of the moving object and grows with the square of its speed. A system of objects may also contain stored (potential) energy, depending on their relative positions.
PS3.B: Energy Transfer
When the motion energy of an object changes, there is inevitably some other change in energy at the same time.
PS3.C: Relationship Between Energy and Forces
When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object.

NASA Now: Propulsion
Suggestions?
Thrust Structures
What are some ways NASA
engineers could make a launch
vehicle as lightweight as possible?
The Challenge:
Build the lightest weight thrust structure that
will withstand the force of launch to orbit at
least three times.
Testing Student Designs
Launch to orbit = 1 meter

Modifications
and
Extensions
Modifications
• Allow modifications using cardboard
• Allow mid-test repairs
• Change the rocket mass
• Design with alternative materials
• Limit designs by cost (budget)
If it costs $10,000 to lift a pound
(half a kilogram) of payload into
orbit, calculate the cost of sending
yourself into space.
