Applications of Energy to the Real World

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

As an introduction to the concept of energy, this interesting and informative resource would be a terrific addition to a unit. Although there is quite a bit of information presented about kinetic energy, potential energy, and related topics, the slides lay out the facts in such a way that it is easy to understand. This resource could be used as both an introduction to the topic, and a review after a unit was completed.
