Next Generation Science Standards:
HS PS2-1 Analyze data to support the claim th at Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
PS3.A.1 Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system's total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms.
PS3.B.2 Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transported from one place to another and transferred between systems.
