Clarification Statement - S.HS.PS.2.6.CS:
Emphasis is on the attractive and repulsive forces that determine the functioning of the material. Examples could include why electrically conductive materials are often made of metal, flexible but durable materials are made up of long chained molecules,

Assessment Boundary - S.HS.PS.2.6.AB:
Assessment is limited to provided molecular structures of specific designed materials.

Science and Engineering Practices - 9-12.SEP8.1:
Communicate scientific and technical information the process of development and the design and performance of a proposed process or system) in multiple formats (including orally, graphically, textually, and mathematically).

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.HS.PS.2.6.DCI:
PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter •The structure and interactions of matter at the bulk scale are determined by electrical forces within and between atoms.(secondary to HS-PS2-6) PS2.B: Types of Interactions •Attraction and repulsion between electric charges at the atomic scale explain the structure, properties, and transformations of matter, as well as the contact forces between material objects.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC4.5:
Investigating or designing new systems or structures requires a detailed examination of the properties of different materials, the structures of different components, and connections of components to reveal its function and/or solve a problem.
