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.

Crosscutting Concepts

Science & Engineering Practices 

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 6–8 builds on K–5 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.
