NGSS Connections
Develop a model to describe unobservable phenomena. (MS-PS3-2)
Engaging in Argument from Evidence
Construct, use, and present oral and written arguments supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or model for a phenomenon. (MS-PS3-5)
PS3.C: Relationships Between Energy and Forces
When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. (MS-PS3-2)
PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer
When the motion energy of an object changes, there is inevitably some other change in energy at the same time. (MS-PS3-5)
Systems and System Models
Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions – such as inputs, processes, and outputs – and energy and matter flows within systems. (MS-PS3-2)
Energy and Matter
Energy may take different forms (e.g. energy in fields, thermal energy, energy of motion). (MS-PS3-5)
