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...

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...

This resource explores UK energy sources. Students will learn that the UK currently uses a mixture of non-renewable and renewable energy resources for its energy supply but to mitigate climate change, more renewables must be used. Students will be able to give examples of why, where and how, wind, solar,...

This activity sheet examines students' knowledge of energy resources and challenges them to interpret real-world energy source data. The context of the activity sheet is a company responsible for managing and maintaining gas pipelines called Penspen. Much of the gas used for electricity generation in the UK is...

Resources which can be used to enhance a lesson on renewable energy or for homework activities. Includes:

• A loop game activity with all the key words and facts needed at KS4
• A renewable energy word search and the answer sheet
• Crossword to test knowledge of key terms around energy at...

This resource looks at energy transfer, work done, energy efficiency and Sankey diagrams, in the context of the Gravity Jet Suit.

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...

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...

The problems caused by lack of access to energy, and renewable energy solutions implemented by Practical Action are shown in this series of videos.

Benefits of smoke hoods: Discusses the benefits to health and how food is cooked.

A Catalyst article about how the society can decide whether energy-efficient lighting is good for the environment. With the UK Government announcement that sales of filament lamps will be phased out over the next few years the article examines their replacements, CFLs, compact fluorescent lamps. Not everyone agrees...

The ENGAGE project is part of the EU Science in society agenda to promote more Responsible Research and Innovation’ (RRI).

ENGAGE resources focus on a more inquiry-based methodology, which gives students opportunity for self-expression and responsibility for coming to informed decisions.

Their aims...
