            • Introduction - MST4.C.C.PS4.Introduction:
              Throughout history, humankind has tried to effectively use and convert various forms of energy. Energy is used to do work that makes life more productive and enjoyable. The Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy applies to phase changes, chemical changes, and nuclear changes that help run our modern world. With a complete understanding of these processes and their application to the modern world comes a responsibility to take care of waste, limit pollution, and decrease potential risks.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.2a:
                Heat is a transfer of energy (usually thermal energy) from a body of higher temperature to a body of lower temperature. Thermal energy is the energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.2b:
                Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of material. Temperature is not a form of energy.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.C.C.PS4.2c:
                The concepts of kinetic and potential energy can be used to explain physical processes that include: fusion (melting), solidification (freezing), vaporization (boiling, evaporation), condensation, sublimation, and deposition.
