Trace the transformations of energy (kinetic to potential, etc.) in a system, e.g., a person rowing a boat or child swinging.

Trace the transformations of energy (kinetic to potential, etc.) in a system in this activity created by SMART. Students are asked to choose the type of transformation represented within different situations, such as a person rowing a...

This interactive tutorial provides a brief review of the 2 types of energy and an explanation of the law of of conservation of energy.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online lesson students will investigate examples of kinetic and potential energy and their transformations.

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...

Young scholars 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...

Energy! What do you know about it? Use this terrific site to find out everything about it through a series of Q&As. Educators will find useful lesson plans at the related Teacher's site.

This detailed chemistry lesson plan from the U.S. Department of Energy focuses on transforming vegetable oil into biodiesel through a process of transesterification. The process described offers a good model for many chemical reaction...

Given diagrams, illustrations or relevant data, students will identify examples of kinetic and potential energy and their transformations.

Students test their understanding of energy transformations when shown a simple animation and a cloze-format response question. This activity could be utilized with a classroom response technology system.

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.

Students will understand the law of conservation of energy and the transformation of energy from one type to another.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Observe what happens in the change in the type of energy during a reaction in this simulation. After the activity, answer a self-correcting challenge question.

This lesson explains how energy can be transferred from one form to another, but is always conserved. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Conservation of Energy."
