Energy
-
MS-PS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
-
MS-PS3-4: 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.
-
MS-PS3-5: Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. (This standard is taught, but is not part of the summative assessment.)
Week 1:
I will differentiate between kinetic energy and potential energy and identify the different types of each.
Homework is due Tuesday and Thursday this week.
Week 2:
I will differentiate between kinetic energy and thermal energy.
Homework is due Thursday this week.
Week 3:
I will create a device that can minimize the transfer of thermal energy.
Homework is due Tuesday and Thursday this week.
Week 4:
I will create a device that can minimize the transfer of thermal energy.
Homework is due Tuesday and Thursday this week.
Your Engineering Design Paper is due at the end of the period Wednesday!
