PS3-A
Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system’s total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms.
PS3-A
At the macroscopic scale, energy manifests itself in multiple ways, such as in motion, sound, light, and thermal energy.
Questioning Script
Prior knowledge & experience:
An increase in temperature will cause an increase in pressure.
Root question:
Can an increase in pressure cause an increase in temperature?
Target response:
Temperature and pressure are directly related and causal in both directions.
Common Misconceptions:
Changes in temperature cause pressure changes, but changes in pressure don't cause temperature changes.
