4-PS3-1 Energy
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. |
Clarification Statement: Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects or through sound, light, or electric currents. At this grade level, no attempt is made to give a precise or complete definition of energy.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative measures of changes in the speed of an object or on any precise or quantitative definition of energy.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
|
Energy and Matter:
- Energy can be transferred in various ways and between objects.
|
Constructing Explanations (for science) and Designing Solutions (for engineering):
- Constructing explanations and designing solutions in 3â5 builds on Kâ2 experiences and progresses to the use of evidence in constructing explanations that specify variables that describe and predict phenomena and in designing multiple solutions to design problems.
- Use evidence (e.g., measurements, observations, patterns) to construct an explanation.
|
Definitions of Energy:
- The faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses.
