HS-PSP-1 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

HS-PSP-1.1 Analyze data to support the claim that Newton's second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
HS-PSP-1.2 Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.
- Conservation of momentum (Ph-G.1)
HS-PSP-1.3 Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.
HS-PSP-1.4 Use mathematical representations of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Coulomb's Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
HS-PSP-1.5 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current.
- Magnets and magnetism (Ph-R.1)
- Magnetic field calculations: solenoids (Ph-R.3)
HS-PSP-1.6 Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
- Classify and describe covalent substances, ionic compounds, and metals (Ch-J.3)
- Metals and alloys (Ch-J.)

HS-PSP-2 Energy

HS-PSP-2.1 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.
- Conservation of mechanical energy (Ph-H.2)
- The first law of thermodynamics (Ph-J.2)
HS-PSP-2.2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects).
- Conservation of mechanical energy (Ph-H.2)
HS-PSP-2.3 Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
HS-PSP-2.4 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics).
HS-PSP-2.5 Develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.

HS-PSP-3 Waves

HS-PSP-3.1 Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.
HS-PSP-3.2 Evaluate questions about the advantages of using digital transmission and storage of information.
HS-PSP-3.3 Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other.
HS-PSP-3.4 Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.
HS-PSP-3.5 Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
