Using the 5E method for teaching about kinetic energy, potential energy, and conservation of energy, this two-week unit with many videos and possible extensions is sure to keep pupils engaged as they are learning.

What has more energy than a room full of pupils after a fire drill? This lesson plan! Explore the changes in energy during different chemical reactions, discover why some reactions feel cold and others feel hot, and tackle the concept of...

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

Should primary graders have their own computers? Should animals be kept in captivity? Young writers learn how to develop and support a claim in this short unit on persuasive writing.

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...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses ways in which energy can be transferred, what kinetic energy is and types of potential energy. Includes examples of energy conversions.

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...

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...

Understand when objects have mechanical energy with this video lesson. Also learn the difference between potential and kinetic energy. The video also discusses the factors that influence both potential and kinetic energy using examples....
