- Generate & compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria & constraints of the problem.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Elementary /// Engineering Design)
- Plan & carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled & failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Elementary /// Engineering Design)
- Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Middle School /// Engineering Design)
- Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Middle School /// Engineering Design)
- Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Grade 4 /// Physical Science /// Energy )
- Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. [Examples : electric circuits that convert electrical energy into motion energy of a vehicle, light, or sound; and, a passive solar heater that converts light into heat. Examples of constraints: materials, cost, or design time.]
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Grade 4 /// Physical Science /// Energy )
- Design, build, & refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// High School /// Physical Science /// Energy)
- Develop & use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects & the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.
(Next Generation Science Standards /// High School /// Physical Science /// Energy)
- Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. [Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.]
(Next Generation Science Standards /// Middle School /// Physical Science /// Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions )
- Construct, use, & present arguments to support the claim that when the motion energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
