Relationships Between Energy and Force
Potential Energy
MS-PS3-2.Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on relative amounts of potential energy, not on calculations of potential energy. Examples of objects within systems interacting at varying distances could include: the Earth and either a roller coaster cart at varying positions on a hill or objects at varying heights on shelves, changing the direction/orientation of a magnet, and a balloon with static electrical charge being brought closer to a classmate’s hair. Examples of models could include representations, diagrams, pictures, and written descriptions of systems.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to two objects and electric, magnetic, and gravitational interactions.]
Organizing Ideas from Multiple Sources
I can compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic. [RST.6-8.9]
I can organize ideas, concepts, and information into broader categories to better achieve my purpose. [WHST.6-8.2c]
I can use appropriate transitions to clarify the relationships among ideas and concepts. [WHST.6-8.2c]
