The fifth instructional activity in the six part series introduces units of energy including calories, Calories, and joules. Scholars determine the energy released when eating a snack and during activity.

As an introduction to the concept of energy, this interesting and informative resource would be a terrific addition to a unit. Although there is quite a bit of information presented about kinetic energy, potential energy, and related...

In this specific heat activity, students read about the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance. They are given the equation for calculating joules and they solve four problems using the equation.

In this work worksheet, students will match vocabulary words with definitions: joule, Newton, force, and work. Then students will answer 8 problems based on the equation: work = force x distance.

In this calculating joules worksheet, students read about the relationship between mass, temperature change, specific heat and energy. They find the number of joules needed to heat water in five different problems using the given...

Showing a warming curve for an unknown substance, this worksheet asks for seven answers about particular points that have specific meaning.  The following seven questions require learners to calculate certain answers given supporting...

In this specific heat worksheet, students solve 4 problems for either the specific heat of the substance, the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance a particular number of degrees or the amount of heat released in...

In this power worksheet, high schoolers use the equations of power and work to complete 4 word problems. Students use the standard units of watts and joules.

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis? In this fourth presentation that covers work and simple machines, young physicists look at Newtons and Joules as well as...

In this craters learning exercise, students solve 3 problems including converting units of Joules into a number equivalent to a one-megaton nuclear bomb, finding the diameters of craters in a given picture and determining the energy...

In this water on planetary surfaces learning exercise, students read about the Galileo spacecraft and the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa. They read about the energy needed to keep the water in a liquid state on Europa. Students solve 4...

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Even high schoolers enjoy making ice cream. This laboratory exercise has them record the temperature changes throughout the process of liquid becoming solid, graph the results, and...

Matter and the energy held by molecules is explained here. The information provided about the transfer of energy between substances and the resulting temperature change will be useful to your students.  They will be able to work through...

In this energy worksheet, students are given a table of the many measurements of energy. They solve 6 problems converting from one measurement of energy to another using the conversion factors given.

In this energy learning exercise, learners read about work and how forces effect the work that is done to an object. Students complete 10 matching, 14 fill in the blank, and 10 word problems.

In this calories learning exercise, students use a chart comparing the calories found in different food items to complete 3 short answer questions.

For this science and engineering worksheet, students use dimensional analysis to solve each of the problems stated on the sheet. They illustrate their work and how they arrived at their answers by using significant figures for their...

Science stars examine the concept of energy by thinking about everyday situations. The lesson plan is incohesive. It lists goals for the student, but doesn't address all of them in the content. The best use of this resource would simply...

Test the limits of gravity while encouraging full class participation with this thrilling lesson. Pupils investigate the meaning of work and how it is equivalent to energy. They explore the joule and apply it as a unit of work. They...

Heat is more than just temperature, as viewers discover throughout a presentation about thermochemistry that emphasizes vocabulary. Definitions include joule, calorie, energy, enthalpy, calorimetry, exothermic and endothermic process,...

For this thermodynamics worksheet, students fill in the blanks with terms related to specific heat, calorimetry, phase changes, enthalpy, entropy and free energy.

In this chemistry math worksheet, high schoolers complete the given calculations, simplify the expressions, and solve for the expressions given. This worksheet has 29 problems to solve.

Many important facts about energy are described in this chemistry PowerPoint. There are definitions for different types of energy, and information about certain important calculations and units. The show finishes with a link to a video...
