Physical Sciences
Benchmarks (6–8)
D.
Describe that energy takes many forms, some forms represent kinetic energy and some forms represent potential energy; and during energy transformations the total amount of energy remains constant.
Benchmarks (9–10)
E.
Demonstrate that energy can be considered to be either kinetic (motion) or potential (stored).
F.
Explain how energy may change form or be redistributed but the total quantity of energy is conserved.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 7)
2.
Describe how an object can have potential energy due to its position or chemical composition and can have kinetic energy due to its motion.
3.
Identify different forms of energy (e.g., electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, nuclear, radiant and acoustic).
4.
Explain how energy can change forms but the total amount of energy remains constant.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 9)
13.
Demonstrate that near Earth's surface an object's gravitational potential energy depends upon its weight (mg where m is the object's mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity) and height (h) above a reference surface
(PE=mgh).
15.
Trace the transformations of energy within a system (e.g., chemical to electrical to mechanical) and recognize that energy is conserved. Show that these transformations involve the release of some thermal energy.
Science and Technology
Benchmarks (6–8)
A.
Give examples of how technological advances, influenced by scientific knowledge, affect the quality of life.
B.
Design a solution or product taking into account needs and constraints (e.g., cost, time, trade-offs, properties of materials, safety, aesthetics).
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 6)
1.
Explain how technology influences the quality of life.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 8)
4.
Evaluate the overall effectiveness of a product design or solution.
