ENERGY


HS-PS3-1

Energy Change in Components of a System
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-PS3-2

Macroscopic Energy Due to Particle Position and Motion
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-PS3-3

Energy Conversion Device Design
Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy. 


HS-PS3-4

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
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-PS3-5

Energy Change Due to Interacting Fields
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.
