LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

● I can explore work, energy and power and the relationships among them. ● I can explore macroscopic kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. ● I can understand that energy

Phys 2.1 Analyze and interpret data to track and calculate the transfer of energy within a system. Emphasize the identifcation of the components of the system, along with their initial and fnal energies, and mathematical descriptions to depict energy transfer in the system. Examples of energy transfer could include the transfer of energy during a collision or heat transfer. (PS3.A, PS3.B)

can be converted from one form to another during the

power generation and distribution process.

● I can use the law of

Phys 2.3 Develop and use models on the macroscopic scale to illustrate that energy can be accounted for as a combination of energies associated with the motion of objects and energy associated with the relative positions of objects. Emphasize relationships between components of the model to show that energy is conserved. Examples could include mechanical systems where kinetic energy is transformed to potential energy or vice versa. (PS3.A)

conservation of energy to analyze collisions. ● I can understand that some forms of energy are more useful than others, but it is never lost.
