Cross Cutting Concepts
Energy and Matter Energy cannot be created or destroyed—it only moves between one place and another place, between objects and/or fields, or between systems. Systems and Systems Models Models (e.g., physical, mathematical, computer models) can be used to simulate systems and interactions—including energy, matter, and information flows—within and between systems at different scales.

Looking Back	Looking Ahead
Evaluate the translational kinetic, gravitational potential, and elastic potential energies in simple situations using the mathematical definitions of these quantities and mathematically relate the initial and final values of the translational kinetic, gravitational potential, and elastic potential energies in the absence of a net external force. (PI.4.1) Construct a device that uses one or more of Newton’s laws of motion. Explain how motion, acceleration, force, and mass are affecting the device. (7.PS.7) Describe how potential and kinetic energy can be transferred from one form to another. (6.PS.3) Describe and investigate the different ways in which energy can be generated and/or converted from one form of energy to another form of energy. (4.PS.4)	Conceptually define “work” as the process of transferring of energy into or out of a system when an object is moved under the application of an external force and operationally define “work” as the area under a force vs. change in position curve. (PI.4.3)
