HS-PS3-3. Design, build, and refine a device that works
within given constraints to convert one form of energy
into another form of energy.
HS-PS4-3. Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning
behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be
described either by a wave model or a particle model, and
that for some situations one model is more useful than
the other.
HS-PS4-4. Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims
in published materials of the effects that different
frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when
absorbed by matter.
