Vocabulary
- Construct
- Evidence
- Energy
- Explanation
- Relative speed
- Phenomenon
Knowledge
Students know:
- Motion can indicate the energy of an object.
- The observable impact of a moving object interacting with its surroundings reflects how much energy can be transferred between objects and therefore relates to the energy of the moving object.
- The faster a given object is moving the more observable the impact it can have on another object.
- The speed of an object is related to the energy of the object.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Articulate from evidence to explain the observable impact of the speed of an object and the energy of an object.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Energy can be transferred in various ways and between objects.
