Description

Engineering Lesson with NGSS Connections (with light kit activity)

Performance Expectations

MS-PS3-3   Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.

Science and Engineering Practices

  • Apply scientific ideas or principles to design, construct, and/or test a design of an object, tool, process or system.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • The temperature of a system is proportional to the average internal kinetic energy and potential energy per atom or molecule (whichever is the appropriate building block for the system’s material). The details of that relationship depend on the type of atom or molecule and the interactions among the atoms in the material. Temperature is not a direct measure of a system's total thermal energy. The total thermal energy (sometimes called the total internal energy) of a system depends jointly on the temperature, the total number of atoms in the system, and the state of the material.

Crosscutting Concepts

  • The transfer of energy can be tracked as energy flows through a natural system.
