HS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

HS-PS2-1 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-PS2-2 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-PS2-3 Apply scientific principles, such as Newton's 1st & 3rd Laws, and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.
HS-PS2-4 Use mathematical representations of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Coulomb's Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
- Newton's law of universal gravitation (Ph-I.2)
- Coulomb's law: electrostatic forces (Ph-P.1)
HS-PS2-5 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.
- Ohm's law: voltage, current, and resistance (Ph-Q.1)
- Magnets and magnetism (Ph-R.1)

HS-PS3 Energy

HS-PS3-1 Create a mathematical 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.1)
HS-PS3-2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy is associated with motion and relative position of particles (objects).
- Conservation of mechanical energy (Ph-H.1)
HS-PS3-3 Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
HS-PS3-4 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 (thermal equilibrium).
- Calculations involving specific heat (Ph-J.1)
HS-PS3-5 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.
- Coulomb's law: electrostatic forces (Ph-P.1)

HS-PS4 Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

HS-PS4-1 Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.
- Waves on strings (Ph-L.1)
- Properties of electromagnetic waves (Ph-N.1)
HS-PS4-2 Construct an explanation using evidence to support the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described by a wave model and a particle model.
HS-PS4-3 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-PS4-4 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.
