1.P2U1.1 (NGSS-S: 1-PS4-3) Plan and carry out investigations demonstrating the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light and predict how objects with similar properties will affect the beam of light.

1.P2U1.2 (NGSS-P: 1-PS4-1) Use models to provide evidence that vibrating matter creates sound and sound can make matter vibrate.

1.P3U1.3 (NGSS-P: K-PS2-1) Plan and carry out investigations which demonstrate how equal forces can balance objects and how unequal forces can push, pull, or twist objects, making them change their speed, direction, or shape.
