Explains the processes by which energy flows through an ecosystem. Covers the meanings of key vocabulary, e.g., types of producers and consumers, trophic levels, food webs, and the energy pyramid.

At this site, the student can find out thermophysical properties of different fluids and gases.

Heat flow from a hot region to a cold region is described and explained. Applications of this phenomenon (specifically heat pumps and refrigerators) are discussed. Excellent graphics.

View a simulation of water flowing under a wheel that causes the wheel to rotate. Energy from the water is transferred to the wheel.

This site from the Colorado State University discusses the tranfer of heat by conduction and convection. Discussion centers around the application of these two heat transfer mechanisms to engines. The variables that effect the resistance...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart investigates how heat is produced and the effects of heating and cooling and demonstrates how a change in temperature indicates a change in heat. Students will sequence objects according...

Slideshow that looks at energy flow in an ecosystem. Explains what an ecosystem is, how energy flows through it, the producers and consumers of energy, and food chains. Links to a video about plastic debris in the ocean.
