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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Using a roller coaster as an example, the transformation of mechanical energy from the form of potential to the form of kinetic and vice versa is explained and illustrated in the animation.

The claim tester gang comes face-to-face with Orx-30. This comic focuses around the topic of sustainable forms of energy.

This comprehensive lesson teaches all about energy, including the different forms, the periodic table, history of human energy use and production, and energy units. It contains an interactive energy calculator, games and activities, and...

Electricity is a very convenient form of energy that can be generated using different energy resources. Some of these resources are renewable and some are non-renewable. Each resource has advantages and disadvantages. A link to a test is...

Renewable and nonrenewable energy sources are described, different types of energy, and how energy can be conserved.

This lesson covers the different types of energy, the definitions of kinetic and potential energy, how energy can be converted into different forms, and the law of conservation of energy.

Defines work, energy, and power. Explains the work-energy principle, types and forms of energy, and presents some exercises to try.

The quest for energy has always been a balancing act. As humans have gained greater control over their environment, they've found abundant resources - and faced numerous challenges. This article traces the history of our quest for energy.
