Energy Stores and Transfers
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
-
Understand that when a force makes things change it mechanically transfers energy between different energy stores.
-
Understand that friction transfers energy...
Energy stores and transfers
This resource asks pupils to apply their knowledge of energy stores and transfers to different contexts to identify the energy stores and transfers taking place. The first task checks pupils' knowledge about energy stores and transfer. Pupils are then asked to identify the energy stores from various images and the...
Energy survey
For the vast majority of people modern life is dependent on electricity. Researchers at the University of Oxford are looking into what we use electricity for and when, in order to ensure that in the future, supply meets demand at all times. In this activity students...

Energy transfer
This resource looks at energy transfer, work done, energy efficiency and Sankey diagrams, in the context of the Gravity Jet Suit.
Energy Transfer *suitable for home teaching*
A Catalyst article devoted to food chains. This article looks at photosynthesis and the loss of energy from plants to animals throughout the food chain. How this limits the number of animals that can survive on the energy fixed by a patch of vegetation is explained. Foraging characteristics and how many animals can...
