Physics I: Grades 9, 10, 11, 12

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-PS2-1

  • 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.HS-PS2-2

  • HS-PS2-3.

    Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device for example, one that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.HS-PS2-3

  • 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.HS-PS2-4

  • HS-PS2-6.

    Use mathematical representations to represent simple harmonic motion and pendulums.HS-PS2-6

Energy

  • HS-PS3-1.

    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(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.HS-PS3-1

  • HS-PS3-2.

    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 (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects).HS-PS3-2

  • 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-PS3-3

  • 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.HS-PS3-5

  • HS-PS3-6.

    Design, develop and analyze simple circuits and circuit elements.HS-PS3-6

Wave Properties

  • HS-PS4-1.

    Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.HS-PS4-1

Electromagnetic Radiation

  • HS-PS4-3.

    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.HS-PS4-3

  • HS-PS4-4.

    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
