4-PS3-4 | Energy Conversion Device · NYS standard
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Clarification statement: Examples of devices could include electric circuits that convert electrical energy into energy of motion of a vehicle, light, or sound; batteries that convert chemical energy to electrical energy; and, a passive solar heater that converts light into heat. Examples of constraints could include the materials, cost, or time to design the device.
Assessment boundary: Devices should be limited to those that convert motion energy to electric energy or use stored energy to cause motion or produce light or sound.
