SCI-HS.PS3.04High School (SCI) Physical Science Standards SCI-HS.PS3.04 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).

SCI-HS.PS4.03High School (SCI) Physical Science Standards SCI-HS.PS4.03 Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.
Clarification Statement: Physics: Emphasis is on the idea that photons associated with different frequencies of light have
different energies, and the damage to living tissue from electromagnetic radiation depends on the
energy of the radiation. Examples of published materials could include trade books, magazines,
web resources, videos, and other passages that may reflect bias. Focus is on qualitative
descriptions.
