Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on descriptive relationships between kinetic energy and mass separately from kinetic energy and speed. Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds, rolling different sizes of rocks downhill, and getting hit by a wiffle ball versus a tennis ball.] Science and Engineering Disciplinary Core Ideas Crosscutting Concepts Practices Analyzing and Interpreting PS3.A: Definitions of Energy Scale, Proportion, and Motion energy is properly Data Quantity Analyzing data in 6–8 builds called kinetic energy; it is Proportional relationships on K–5 and progresses to proportional to the mass of the (e.g. speed as the ratio of extending quantitative analysis moving object and grows with distance traveled to time to investigations, the square of its speed. taken) among different types distinguishing between of quantities provide correlation and causation, and information about the basic statistical techniques of magnitude of properties and data and error analysis. processes.
