HS-ETS1-2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative position of particles (objects).
HS-PS3-2.5.1 - Energy cannot be created or destroyed it only moves between one place and another place, between objects and/or fields, or between systems.
HS-PS3-2.PS3.A.1 - Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system's total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms.
HS-PS3-2.PS3.A.2 - At the macroscopic scale, energy manifests itself in multiple ways, such as in motion, sound, light, and thermal energy.
Essential Questions:
- What are two main types of energy, and what are some examples of these types of energy?
- What are some examples of conversions between kinetic energy and potential energy in the world around you?
- How does the kinetic energy of an object relate to its mass and velocity?
