Displacement and Speed
Sound and Light
Energy and Energy Transformations
MS-PS4-1. Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
MS-PS4-2. Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
MS-PS4-3. Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals.
Distinguish between the terms position, distance, and displacement, as well as, the terms speed and velocity.
Describe the motion of an object graphically showing the relationship between time and position.
Investigate the properties of light, sound, and other energy waves and how they are reflected, absorbed, and transmitted through materials and space
