MS-PS3-4 Energy

Students who demonstrate understanding can: Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
Clarification Statement: Examples of experiments could include comparing final water temperatures after different masses of ice melted in the same volume of water with the same initial temperature, the temperature change of samples of different materials with the same mass as they cool or heat in the environment, or the same material with different masses when a specific amount of energy is added.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.

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.

Planning and Carrying Out Investigations:

  • Planning and carrying out investigations to answer questions or test solutions to problems in 6–8 builds on K–5 experiences and progresses to include investigations that use multiple variables and provide evidence to support explanations or design solutions.
  • Plan an investigation individually and collaboratively, and in the design: identify independent and dependent variables and controls, what tools are needed to do the gathering, how measurements will be recorded, and how many data are needed to support a claim. 

Definitions of Energy:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of matter.
  • The relationship between the temperature and the total energy of a system depends on the types, states, and amounts of matter present. 

Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer:

  • The amount of energy transfer needed to change the temperature of a matter sample by a given amount depends on the nature of the matter, the size of the sample, and the environment.
