Energy: Grades 9-12

EnergyHS-PS3

  • HS-PS3-1.

    Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.HS-PS3-1

  • HS-PS3-2.

    Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as either motions of particles or energy stored in fields.HS-PS3-2

  • HS-PS3-3.

    Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.HS-PS3-3

  • HS-PS3-4.

    Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics).HS-PS3-4

  • HS-PS3-5.

    Develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.HS-PS3-5
