PS Physical Science

PS.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
PS.2 use mathematical representations to demonstrate how total momentum of a system is conserved when there is no net force on the system
- Conservation of momentum (Ph-G.1)
PS.3 apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes forces on an object during collisions
PS.4 use a mathematical representation of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Coulomb's Law to explain gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects
- Newton's law of universal gravitation (Ph-I.2)
- Coulomb's law: electrostatic forces (Ph-P.1)
PS.5 plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that electric currents can produce magnetic fields and changing magnetic fields can produce electric currents
- Magnets and magnetism (Ph-R.1)
PS.6 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 and energy flows in and out of the system are known
- Conservation of mechanical energy (Ph-H.1)
PS.7 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 and energy associated with the relative position of particles
- Conservation of mechanical energy (Ph-H.1)
PS.8 design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy
PS.9 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
- Calculations involving specific heat (Ph-J.1)
PS.10 develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the change in energy of the objects due to the interaction
- Coulomb's law: electrostatic forces (Ph-P.1)
PS.11 use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media
- Waves on strings (Ph-L.1)
- Properties of electromagnetic waves (Ph-N.1)
PS.12 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
PS.13 evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter
PS.14 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
