Strand 8.2: ENERGY IS STORED AND TRANSFERRED IN PHYSICAL SYSTEMS

Objects can store and transfer energy within systems. Energy can be transferred between objects, which involves changes in the object's energy. There is a direct relationship between an object's energy, mass, and velocity. Energy can travel in waves and may be harnessed to transmit information.

Standard 8.2.5

Develop and use a model to describe the structure of waves and how they are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Emphasize both light and mechanical waves. Examples could include drawings, simulations, and written descriptions of light waves through a prism, mechanical waves through gas vs. liquids vs. solids, or sound waves through different mediums. (PS4.A, PS4.B)

• SEEd Storyline 8.2.5
  Storyline Big Ideas: The structure of a wave affects it's ability to be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through mediums. How are reflection, absorption and transmission of light waves through a medium involved in the creation of a rainbow?
