MS-PS3-1 Energy
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. |
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on descriptive relationships between kinetic energy and mass separately from kinetic energy and speed. Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds, rolling different sizes of rocks downhill, and getting hit by a wiffle ball versus a tennis ball.
|
Assessment Boundary: Does not include mathematical calculations of kinetic energy.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
|
Scale, Proportion, and Quantity:
- Proportional relationships (e.g. speed as the ratio of distance traveled to time taken) among different types of quantities provide information about the magnitude of properties and processes.
|
Analyzing and Interpreting Data:
- Analyzing data in 6â8 builds on Kâ5 and progresses to extending quantitative analysis to investigations, distinguishing between correlation and causation, and basic statistical techniques of data and error analysis.
- Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to identify linear and nonlinear relationships.
|
Definitions of Energy:
- Motion energy is properly called kinetic energy; it is proportional to the mass of the moving object and grows with the square of its speed.
