Don't lift another finger, this physical and environmental science unit has everything you need to begin teaching your class about energy. Starting with a look at the greenhouse effect, these lessons and activities take young scientists...

Students describe how radioactivity relates to alpha and beta particles. Using their properties, they write a descriptive paper about the gamma rays and alpha and beta particles. They calculate q-values and the half-life of a given...

Students will discuss the de Brogile Hypothesis and state the circumstances under which the wave nature of matter is observed. They will also calculate the wavelengths of matter waves.

Definitions of various forms of energy are presented along with a brief scientific history of energy related concepts.

This learning module looks at human-made systems of energy, covering different types of energy and power stations. Includes handouts, slideshows, maps, activities, photographs, an interactive animation, and videos.
