Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

• Develop a model to generate data to test ideas about designed systems, including those representing inputs and outputs. (MS-ETS1-4)

Disciplinary Core Ideas

PS3.A: 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. (MS-PS3-3)

PS3.B Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer

• Energy is spontaneously transferred out of hotter regions or objects and into colder ones. (MS-PS3-3)

Crosscutting Concepts

Energy and Matter

• The transfer of energy can be tracked as energy flows through a designed or natural system. (MS-PS3-3)
