Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

This lesson is building toward:

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES (SEP)

Planning and Carrying Out Investigations

Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.

DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEAS (DCI)

PS3.B Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer

Moving objects contain energy. The faster the object moves, the more energy it has. Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects, or through sound, light, or electrical currents. Energy can be converted from one form to another form.

CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS (CCC)

Systems and System Models

A system can be described in terms of its components and their interactions.
