NGSS HS-ETS1-2 Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering. NGSS HS-PS1-1 Analyze data to support the claim that Newton second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass and its acceleration. NGSS HS-PS1-5 Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs. NGSS HS-PS2-6 Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials. NGSS HS-PS3-1 Create a computational model to calculate the change in energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. NGSS HS-PS3-2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic level can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects). NGSS HS-PS3-3 Design, build and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy. NGSS HS-PS4-2 Evaluate questions about the advantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information. NGSS HS-PS4-3 Evaluate the claims, evidence and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either as a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the others. NGSS HS-PS4-5 Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
