Energy of an astronaut

Astronauts living on the International Space Station (ISS) need balanced meals to meet their energy and health needs while in space. Food scientists and nutritionists at NASA ensure that astronauts eat balanced meals in space by consulting the Nutrition Fact labels and studying the nutritional needs of astronauts...

Energy of moving objects and of springs

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Distinguish between the energy in the kinetic store of an object and the object’s speed.
• Describe how mass and speed affect the amount of energy in the kinetic store of the object...

Energy of objects in a gravitational field

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• State that the energy in the gravitational store depends only on the mass of an object and its position in the gravitational field.         
• Describe how gravitational field...

Energy Resources

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module provides a programme of activities designed to help students to appreciate that current ways of supplying the energy needs of society are not sustainable. The module is presented in six episodes:
En 1: What are the...

Energy Resources

Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science.

This case study looks at renewable energy resources. It describes how students listed as many energy resources as they could before visiting an alternative...

Energy resources

This resource from the Geological Society explores how energy resources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, wind, sunlight and geothermal energy are all natural resources that can be used to produce heat and electricity.

Pupils learn that energy sources can be either renewable or non-renewable. Non-renewable...
