Lesson 3: Exploring Systems
Duration of Days: 1
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to define a system, describe components of systems they interact with in daily life, and make an initial model of how a hair dryer is powered.
What is a system?
How does energy move through systems?
Does any energy randomly appear in the system or can it be linked back to something else?
System
components
HS-PS3-5. Develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects
Mathematics, reading, reasoning.
Modeling
Students can construct and use models to represent and analyze phenomena and systems.
Maglev trains
How friction may or may not play a role in energy transfer.
