HS-PS3-1
Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on explaining the meaning of mathematical expressions for energy, work, and power used in the model.
Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to basic algebraic expressions or computations; to systems of two or three components; and to work, power, thermal energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, electrical energy and/or the energies in gravitational, magnetic, or electric fields.
Note: This is a performance standard for both HS Physics and HS Chemistry. The Disciplinary Core Ideas to focus on will vary based on whether the standard is being taught in a physics or chemistry class.
