Knowledge and Skills Statement

Science concepts. The student knows that changes occur within a physical system and applies the laws of conservation of energy and momentum.
Glossary terms and definitions are consistent across kindergarten through high school in the TEKS Guide. The definitions are intended to give educators a common understanding of the terms regardless of what grade level they teach. Glossary definitions are not intended for use with students.

a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision

a collision in which the total amount of kinetic energy of a colliding object or system is changed

regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole
