Energy Today and Tomorrow Unit Guide
This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* Sources and uses of energy.
* Conservation of energy.
* Alternative and renewable energy sources.
* Solar energy as a fundamental source of biomass...
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...
Energy Transfer - From Source to Load
This is one of a series of focused units, from the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association, to introduce students to important technologies and their applications. In their study of this unit students can improve their understanding of energy transfers and the efficiency of...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
Energy transfer in ecosystems
This resource provides a lesson plan showing how to use metaphors to teach about energy transfers in ecosystems. The approach used in the lesson is based on education research which is summarised in a separate research summary document.
The lesson introduces the term metaphor and then asks students to...

Energy transfer, conservation and dissipation
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Describe how energy can be transferred from one store to another.
- Describe how the amount of energy in each store changes as energy is transferred.
- Explain why...
One of a series of titles covering the subject of energy as part of the science coverage at Key Stage 3 and aimed at reluctant readers in the 11-14 age range.
This series of resources allow learners to use practical methods to develop their knowledge and skills in design and technology, and science. All link to the theme of energy consumption and the National Grid ESO who ensure that Great Britain has the essential energy it needs by ensuring supply meets demand every...
