Core Idea - Energy

[HS.PHY.3.3] - Design and evaluate a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.* Clarification Statements: Emphasis is on both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of devices. Examples of devices could include Rube Goldberg devices, wind turbines, solar cells, solar ovens, and generators. Examples of constraints could include use of renewable energy forms and efficiency. State Assessment Boundary: Quantitative evaluations will be limited to total output for a given input in state assessment.

Predecessor Standards:

  • 4.PS.3.4
    Apply scientific principles of energy and motion to test and refine a device that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy or uses stored energy to cause motion or produce light or sound.* Clarification Statement: Sources of stored energy can include water in a bucket or a weight suspended at a height, and a battery.
  • 7.PS.3.7
    Use informational text to describe the relationship between kinetic and potential energy and illustrate conversions from one form to another. Clarification Statement: Types of kinetic energy include motion, sound, thermal, and light; types of potential energy include gravitational, elastic, and chemical.

Successor Standards:

No Successor Standards found.

Same Level Standards:

  • WCA.9-10.2
    Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/ experiments, or technical processes.
  • HS.PHY.3.1
    Use algebraic expressions and the principle of energy conservation to calculate the change in energy of one component of a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) of the system, as well as the total energy of the system including any energy entering or leaving the system, is known. Identify any transformations from one form of energy to another, including thermal, kinetic, gravitational, magnetic, or electrical energy, in the system. Clarification Statement: Systems should be limited to two or three components and to thermal energy; kinetic energy; or the energies in gravitational, magnetic, or electric fields.
