I can construct a graph with data that describes the

relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object
and to the speed of an object (MS-PS3-1)
I can recognize that motion energy is defined as kinetic
energy and relates to the mass and grows with the
square of its speed (MS-PS3-1)
I can develop a model describing the potential energy
stored within a system as it changes positions. (MS-PS32)
I can recognize the how potential energy correlates to
objects relative position. (MS-PS3-2)
I can design, construct, and test a device that either
increases or decreases thermal energy transfer. (MSPS3-3)
I can plan an investigation that explores the
relationships among the energy transferred, the type of
matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic
energy of particles by measuring the temperature of the
sample. (MS-PS3-4)
I can differentiate between the three types of heat
transfer: conduction, radiation, and convection. (MSPS1-4)
I can develop a model that predicts and describes
changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of
pure substance. (MS-PS1-4)

Im a pro
I completely understand all
concepts and I can fully
explain them to my peers
with supporting examples
and with correct scientific
language.

I mostly get it
I understand most concepts,
but I need to study more so
I can explain them to others
with supporting examples
and with correct scientific
language.

Im starting to get it but I

need help.
I am starting to understand
most concepts. I need more
help from someone.

Im lost
I do not understand these
concepts. I need extra help.
