Government energy information site provides users with an understanding of what energy is, the forms of energy, energy efficiency, sources of energy as well as the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Given diagrams, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify the types of energy.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduction to the seven different forms of energy.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduction to forms of energy including the seven different forms.

In the following tutorial, students will learn about the law of conservation of energy. They will read about some of the many forms of energy. They will understand the definition of efficiency of an energy conversion process as the...

Students evaluate various everyday energy conversion devices and draw block flow diagrams to show the forms and states of energy into and out of the device. They also identify the forms of energy that are useful and the desired output of...

By the end of this section, you will be able to explain the law of the conservation of energy; describe some of the many forms of energy; and define efficiency of an energy conversion process as the fraction left as useful energy or...

Students will investigate how light is a form of energy that travels as waves away from the source. The basis for this lesson is taken from the Houghton Mifflin science curriculum. In the lesson experiments, students will predict if...

Instructional module focusing on energy. Discussion includes forms of energy, conservation of energy, and the laws of thermodynamics. Site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

A video workshop looking at the concept of energy. Discussions include energy as it is used in everyday language to the complex scientific meaning of energy. Presents common student misconceptions, history, and the importance of energy...

Students will learn about the different types and sources of energy, including heat and light, electrical, potential, and kinetic energy.

Demonstrations explain the concepts of energy forms (sound, chemical, radiant [light], electrical, atomic [nuclear], mechanical, thermal [heat]) and states (potential, kinetic).

Students participate in many demonstrations during the first day of this lesson to learn basic concepts related to the forms and states of energy. This knowledge is then applied the second day as students assess various everyday objects...

By taking a look at the energy of motion all around us, students learn about the types of energy and their characteristics. They first learn about the two simplest forms of mechanical energy: kinetic and potential energy, as illustrated...

Explore kinetic, potential, and thermal energy as you send a skateboarder along several pre-built tracks, then design your own. Charts and graphs show the distribution of the different forms of energy, illustrating how the total energy...

This section of a chemistry textbook reviews the different forms of energy: kinetic, potential, and chemical.

Can you build a device that will deliver life-saving treatment to someone in a hazardous situation? During this lesson, young scholars will learn how energy is converted and transferred between objects. Working in groups and through the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses the definition of energy, the SI unit, and the seven different forms of energy.

This is a instructional activity presenting energy and work. It covers: types of energy, forms of energy, work, law of conservation of energy, and renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. In the activities section, one will find links...

Seven hands-on lessons module where students learn about energy. These inquiry-based explorations investigate where energy resources come from and how they are converted into electricity, how fossil fuels form, the importance of...

Energy is the ability of a system to do work. That system may be batteries powering an electronic game system or windmills capturing wind energy to power a city. When an object or an organism does work, energy is transferred to another...

Learners learn that fossil fuels release energy when they are burned, and this takes the forms of light, heat, gases, etc. In this lesson plan they explore combustion with a candle and with sugar. The lesson plan and accompanying...

Article briefly discusses the law of conservation of energy and what is meant by energy efficiency.

Students use real-world data to evaluate the feasibility of solar energy and other renewable energy sources in different U.S. locations. Working in small groups, students act as engineers evaluating the suitability of installing solar...
