PS Physical Sciences

• PS3 Energy

  • PS3.A Definition of Energy

    • 1.PS3.A.1 Identify the source of energy that causes an increase in the temperature of an object (e.g., sun, stove, flame, light bulb).

• PS4 Waves and Their Applications in technologies for Information Transfer

  • PS4.A Wave Properties

    • 1.PS4.A.1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.

  • PS4.C Information Technologies and Instrumentation
