Unit 2: Forms and Transformations of Energy
STANDARD: S8P2 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the law of conservation of energy to develop arguments that energy can transform from one form to another within a system.
ELEMENT: S8P2.a Analyze and interpret data to create graphical displays that illustrate the relationships of kinetic energy to mass and speed, and potential energy tot.
