NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards)

ETS1-4 Engineering Design: Generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

MS-ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

MS-PS2-2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions: 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.
