Energy

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, while all text and no graphics make Energy a dull presentation. It is informative, teaching viewers about work, conservation of energy, and sources that can be used to generate electricity. It just seems that it would benefit greatly from the addition of some higher quality photos or graphics with examples of the energy sources and diagrams of electrical generators.
