Standard(s):
[SC2015] (4) 2 : 2 ) Plan and carry out investigations that explain transference of energy from
place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
a. Provide evidence that heat can be produced in many ways (e.g., rubbing
hands together, burning leaves) and can move from one object to another by conduction.
b. Demonstrate that different objects can absorb, reflect, and/or conduct
energy.
c. Demonstrate that electric circuits require a complete loop through which
an electric current can pass.
[SC2015] (4) 6 : 6 ) Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and
wavelength, and including that waves can cause objects to move.
[SC2015] (4) 8 : 8 ) Construct a model to explain that an object can be seen when light
reflected from its surface enters the eyes.
[SC2015] PS8 (8) 17 : 17 ) Create and manipulate a model of a simple wave to predict and describe the
relationships between wave properties (e.g., frequency, amplitude, wavelength)
and energy.
a. Analyze and interpret data to illustrate an electromagnetic spectrum.
