Unit 7: Fluids

HS-PS2-1: Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. (Applied to buoyant forces and pressure differentials).

HS-PS3-1: Create a computational model or simulation of a phenomenon, such as the dependence of a system’s energy on its configuration and relative position, to calculate the change in energy of the system. (Applied to fluid pressure at depth and work-energy in hydraulics).

HS-PS3-2: Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles and energy associated with the relative position of particles. (Applied to Bernoulli's Principle and fluid flow).
