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.

This interactive activity from the The National Academies of Sciences examines the ways that improved energy efficiency can be achieved at home and on the road. Compare technology in both settings, and understand their energy...

An interactive skate park simulation that teaches about conservation of energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, and friction. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson...

Where does energy come from? What are non-renewable energy sources? How can we conserve energy? Learn the answers to these questions and more.

The goal of this activity is to become aware of how much energy students use at school- and the financial and environmental costs.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for an earth science unit on energy resources. Review questions are included at the bottom of the study guide.

Where does energy come from? How is it sustained? What does the Law of Conservation of Energy do? Find out!

Defines what work is, presents the formula for calculating the amount of work, explains what conservation of energy means to a scientist, and discusses energy efficiency.

Learn about the conservation of mass and energy as it applies to different living systems.

Describe the difference between energy in motion and at rest, and demonstrate energy's capacity for doing work. Draw a picture of water moving a turbine, and discuss other ways that a turbine might be made to move.

Explore kinetic and potential energy and how energy is conserved in this interactive tutorial.

In this lesson from "The Friends of Auntie Litter", (www.auntielitter.org), conservation and describing ways to sustain energy will be explored. Students will also create a web diagram of ways to conserve energy. This lesson is one from...

For this lesson from "The Friends of Auntie Litter", (http://www.auntielitter.org/), conservation and describing ways to sustain natural resources will be explored. Young scholars will also recycle a paper plate to create a picture...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide summarizes key points about the important role of net energy in obtaining energy resources. Includes a few questions to check for understanding.

Given illustrations, scenarios, descriptions, and/or diagrams, students will demonstrate understanding of heat transfer.

Use this interactive, animated lab to explore conservation of mechanical energy.

Did you know that the #1 pollutant in North Carolina is dirt? When soil is washed into streams and river, it smothers small animals and fish by clogging their gills. Look for bare patches of ground around your home and around your school...

The virtues of programmable thermostats are discussed. Includes a section titled "Thermostat Set-back Calculation;" the visitor can enter the normal and an adjusted thermostat setting and an outdoor temperature and view the percent...

This lesson guides students to build a spectroscope, use it as a tool, and interpret their observations by applying concepts of conservation of energy and properties of matter.

Find out about the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and how they relate to the biology of life.

Explains how the first law of thermodynamics affects four types of thermodynamic systems.
