            3-PS2-2 Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
            4-PS3-1 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
            4-PS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy is conserved as it is transferred and/or converted from one form to another.
            4-PS3-3 Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
            MS-PS3-5 Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
            HS-PS2-2 Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.
            HS-PS2-3 Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.
