Motion Energy

Next Generation Standards

4-PS3-1 - Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

Assessment Boundary - Assessment does not include quantitative measures of changes in the speed of an object or on any precise or quantitative definition of energy.

Massachusetts Standards

4-PS3-1 - Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

Assessment Boundary - State assessment will be limited to analysis of kinetic energy. Accounting for mass, quantitative measures of changes in the speed of an object, or any precise or quantitative definition of energy is not expected in state assessment.
