    Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

    1. HS-PS2-1.

      Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.HS-PS2-1

    2. HS-PS2-2.

      Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.HS-PS2-2

    3. HS-PS2-3.

      Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.HS-PS2-3

    4. HS-PS2-4.

      Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. HS-PS2-4

    5. HS-PS2-5.

      Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current.HS-PS2-5

  •  

    Energy

    1. 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

    2. HS-PS3-2.

      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 positions of particles (objects)HS-PS3-2

    3. 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

    4. 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

    5. 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

  •  

    Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

    1. HS-PS4-1.

      Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.HS-PS4-1

    2. HS-PS4-3.

      Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other. HS-PS4-3
