This topic unites energy in its many forms. Use the law of conservation of energy to relate changes between kinetic and different forms of potential energy as well as chemical, electrical, nuclear, sound, and light energy. The importance of the sun as an energy source initiates exploration of energy conservation and renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

Learners will:

• distinguish between different types of energy (kinetic-vs-potential, gravitational -vs- elastic potential energy, mechanical -vs- electromagnetic.)
• distinguish between or identify everyday examples of different forms of energy (chemical, nuclear, electrical, sound, light and other electromagnetic waves.)
• differentiate between examples of energy performing work and non-work examples.
• distinguish between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and their drawbacks and benefits.
• evaluate an energy transfer and choose explanations that support the law of conservation of energy.
• evaluate an example of an energy transfer and predict where changes in energy (kinetic and potential, friction, heat, etc.) occur.
• predict where kinetic and potential energy will be greatest/lowest when work is performed.
• predict consequences related to preserving energy resources.

Working Power Mechanical Energy - is the fourth part of the fifteen title series covering the material required for students aged 13-16. Different forces create different types of energy. Their characteristics and means of generation are explained in easy to follow simulations, presentations and activities which make the learning process easier and more effective. Pupils are given many opportunities to practice and demonstrate their understanding of what they have learnt.

Content:

Conducting Heat - Wins Site Licence Shipped in 7 days Cat.# MSP-1 $240.00 BUY

Choose a conductor, heat one end and see how the energy travels as the temperature rises. Watch how the particles move. How quickly does heating one end affect the other? Take the temperature and watch a temperature gradient appear. Try again with an insulator or a gas. What is different about them? Model the changes as you heat a metal pan with a wood handle. Model double glazing too – whatever you choose here is a much needed simulation to answer, explain and enlighten.

Students will learn:

• That differences in temperature can lead to transfer of energy;
• how the movement of particles transfers energy in conduction;
• that insulation can reduce energy transfer.

Teachers can:

• Compare how fast three types of material conduct heat. Look at the temperature gradient across them. Relate this to particle movement.
• Model double glazing, a fridge door and cavity wall insulation. Consider loss of heat or gain of heat.
• Compare the cooling of insulated with non-insulated conductors. In other words, compare a conductor cooling in air with a conductor cooling beside an insulator.

Compare ways thermal energy is transferred as heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. Study the molecular meaning of temperature, how temperature increases based on heat capacity, and practice converting between three different temperature scales.

Learners will:

• distinguish between thermal energy, temperature, and heat.
• distinguish between or identify examples of three methods of heat energy transfer (convection, conduction, and radiation).
• discriminate between examples of states of matter based on thermal or average kinetic energy of particles.
• predict ways heat can be transferred between two objects.
• predict the direction and duration of heat flow between two objects.
• predict the manner or direction of heat flow in a common heating, cooling or insulating system.
• predict how or why the heat capacities of substances will affect the rate at which their temperature increases or decreases.
• predict how the transfer of heat affects the state of a substance.

Electricity and Magnetism - Wins Single User Shipped in 7 days Cat.# BTL-2 $ 90.00 BUY

This CD-ROM has two aims - firstly to show how the uses of electricity and magnetism have shaped our lives and secondly, to provide an understanding of how electrical circuits operate. Extensive photographs, animations, graphics and audio commentary introduce basic concepts such as electrostatics and induced magnetism. 

A series of interactive circuit simulations allow students to see how the flow of current and level of voltage may be affected by components including switches and variable resistors. Further sections demonstrate transistors, processor logic and the motor effect.
