[PS] Physical Science |
SCI-04.PS3.01
SCI-04.PS3.01 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.Clarification Statement: Emphasis on relative speeds of objects and the connection between motion and energy
| |
SCI-04.PS3.02
SCI-04.PS3.02 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.Clarification Statement: Emphasis on the transfer of energy whenever objects are moving. Examples of how sound,
light, and heat can transfer energy. Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets

SCI-04.PS3.03
SCI-04.PS3.03 Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the change in the energy due to the change in speed, not on the forces, as objects interact.

SCI-04.PS3.04
SCI-04.PS3.04 Using the engineering design process build a device that converts energy from one form to another.Clarification Statement: Examples of devices could include a greenhouse model such as a glass jar in direct sunlight, electric
circuits that convert electrical energy into motion energy of a vehicle, light, or sound; and, a passive solar
heater (solar oven) that converts light into heat. Examples of constraints could include the materials,
cost, or time to design the device. Use engineering design process flow chart. Student Learning Targets:Knowledge Targets
