Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
Evaluate competing design solutions based on jointly developed and agreed-upon design criteria using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.
Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
The peak altitude or highest point of a rocket’s flight.
Energy that is stored due to the gravitational force of the Earth, dependent on the object’s mass and height, and measured in Joules.
Force that pulls everything down toward the center of the Earth.
Device used to ignite a rocket engine
Unit of work or energy, abbreviated as J
Energy of motion that is dependent on mass and velocity, measured in Joules
Relationship between two variables such that when one variable changes, the second variable changes in the same manner.
Relationship between two variables such that when one variable changes, the second variable changes in the opposite manner.
