Clarification Statement - S.MS.PS.3.5.CS:
Examples of empirical evidence used in arguments could include an inventory or other representation of the energy before and after the transfer in the form of temperature changes or motion of object.

Assessment Boundary - S.MS.PS.3.5.AB:
Assessment does not include calculations of energy.

Science and Engineering Practices - 6-8.SEP7.1:
Construct and present oral and written arguments supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.MS.PS.3.5.DCI:
PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer •When the motion energy of an object changes, there is inevitably some other change in energy at the same time.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC5.8:
Energy may take different forms (e.g. energy in fields, thermal energy, energy of motion).
