Annenberg Learner: Science in Focus: Energy: Heat, Work, and Efficiency

Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Some say cooking is an art—and a science! Scholars scope out the savory subject of molecular gastronomy with a series of related activities. The teacher's guide contains printable worksheets and helpful tips for implementing the lesson.

It's time to increase the heat! Young chemists demonstrate heat transfer and heat capacity in an activity-packed lab, showing the transitions between solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of materials. Individuals plot data as the...

There has been a huge solar energy spill! Let's go outside to play in it. This lesson includes multiple experiments showcasing solar and wind energies. Scholars build a solar heater and an anemometer before testing the results. The...

Change happens when energy is transferred or converted. Included with the teaching unit, is a sixty-minute video that examines the conversion between potential and kinetic energy.

Video workshop explores the everyday activities, such as walking, running, or playing a stringed instrument, that generate energy cycles, as well as the reasons energy cycles diminish and the ways to keep them sustained. [58:20]

Develop an understanding of the relationship between energy, work, and power. The video instructor explains the meaning of each and describes how they work together. He then provides an example that applies the formulas for both work and...

Raise the temperature in your class with this hot film! Cartoon teens discuss thermal energy, the conservation and transfer of energy, three methods of heat transfer, conductors, and insulators. The publisher effectively packed every...

Building a solar oven is always an enriching and engaging activity when your class is studying forms of energy or alternative and renewable energy sources. This lesson plan refers you to the re-energy.ca home website for specific...

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...
