Clarification Statement - S.MS.PS.2.5.CS:
Examples of this phenomenon could include the interactions of magnets, electrically-charged strips of tape, and electrically-charged pith balls. Examples of investigations could include first-hand experiences or simulations. Emphasis should be on using a

Assessment Boundary - S.MS.PS.2.5.AB:
Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.

Science and Engineering Practices - 6-8.SEP3.3:
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.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.MS.PS.2.5.DCI:
PS2.B: Types of Interactions •Forces that act at a distance (electric, magnetic, and gravitational) can be explained by fields that extend through space and can be mapped by their effect on a test object (a charged object, or a ball, respectively).

Crosscutting Concepts - CC2.5:
Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
