In this earthquake exploration worksheet, students complete 3 prior knowledge questions, then use "Energy Conversions Gizmo" to conduct several activities, completing short answer questions when finished.

Here is a resource that is full of potential energy! Learners manipulate charged objects to convert electric potential to thermal energy using a savvy simulation. The resource includes a variety of charge settings and helpful potential...

What are the three types of energy a ski jumper uses? If you said potential, kinetic, and heat, then you are correct. Scholars adjust the jumper's mass, jumper's form, and height of the start line in the simulation to display graphs of...

How can heat power an engine? Scholars observe a heat engine working and control variables to determine the most efficient setup. They change the amount of heat input as well as the stroke length. Energy efficiency numbers prove the...

Looking for a simple way to teach conservation of energy in chemical reactions? Pupils can observe energy changes as water forms during a chain reaction between oxygen and hydrogen using an interactive. The resource instructs users to...

Roller coasters rely on both kinetic and potential energy, but how much total energy does a roller coaster need? Scholars vary the mass of a coaster and the height of the initial hill. Graphs showing the types of energy and total energy...

What prevents a roller coaster from falling when it goes upside down? Scholars experiment with a roller coaster simulation controlling the mass of the coaster, the height of the hill, and the radius of the loop. They learn which factors...

Scientists know wind is a renewable resource, but is it an efficient one? Scholars adjust the propeller diameter on a wind turbine, the wind speed, and the conversion efficiency within range to learn about the efficiency of these...

In this cardboard box solar cooker activity, students read the article, answer true and false questions, complete synonym matching, complete phrase matching, complete a gap fill, answer short answer questions, answer discussion...

Follow the energy conversion from potential to kinetic in this interactive activity that explores total energy in chemical reactions.

Explore the conversion of electric potential energy to thermal energy.

A series of useful calculators for converting different sources of energy from one energy unit to another. Find conversion calculators for coal, electricity, natural gas, crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel, along with an additional...

Use this online tool to convert measurements of acceleration, area, density, electricity, energy, force, length, mass, and other measurable properties.

What kind of unit conversion would you like to do? This site will allow you to do a multitude of conversions. Just click on the specific measurement you are needing to convert. It also provides a history of measurements and a chart of...

View the conversion of linear motion to rotational motion.

A tool for converting values between units of measurement for energy and work.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Having trouble understanding the energy transfer in heat engines? This simulation allows students to learn about the conversion of heat energy to mechanical energy in the context of heat engine.

This lab is designed to have students look at the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy. Students will have control over the amount of water in their beaker, the voltage of the power supply and the time they add energy to the...

This lab is designed to have students look at a greatly simplified version of James Joule's experiment showing the conversion of mechanical energy to heat.

View a simulation of water moving over the top of a water wheel and causing it to move demonstrating the conversion of energy.

See how motion is converted and the energy associated with the motion is used to do work.
