Unit 4 Mastery scale: Energy

FPC
Level

Targets

I can use a model to explain how the energy of a rocket is transformed

or transferred as its motion and position change.

I am able to demonstrate understanding of all supporting targets and

part of the long-term targets

I can describe the meaning of the word energy, as used by scientists

I can distinguish between kinetic and potential energy
I can identify the variables that determine an objects potential energy
I can identify the variables that determine an objects kinetic energy
I can use the kinetic and potential energy equations to find the value of
a missing variable, if I know the other values
I can state the law of conversation of energy
I can explain how kinetic energy, potential energy and the law of
conservation of energy are related
I can distinguish between an energy transfer and an energy
transformation

I can apply the principles of the different types of energy and the
law of conservation of conservation of energy to analyze a new
situation not seen in class.

I can do some of the things described in level 2 but not all of them.
I can only do the things in level 2 when I get help from the teacher or
another student.
