    Key Questions:

    1. How is energy transferred? Name 4 examples.
      • Processes that involve Energy transfer: - changing motion, - dropping an object, - completing an electrical circuit, - stretching a spring, - metabolism of food, - burning fuels
    2. Does energy always stay in the same form? Explain your answer.
      • Energy can be transformed from one form to another. Usually into more than one form.
    3. What is meant by 'conservation of energy'?
      • Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed or transferred from place to place.
    4. Why do we use energy transfer diagrams? Draw an energy transfer diagram for the energy transfers in a fan heater.
      • Energy transfer diagrams are used to transfers (and transforms) of Energy. Energy transfer diagrams: - Stores of Energy are written in boxes. - Flows of Energy are written on arrows. - Places / objects are written at the end of arrows. - The final arrows need to point word 'surroundings'
    5. Which direction(s) does energy flow?
      • Energy flows from high Energy (the store) to areas of low Energy (the surroundings).
    6. How is energy dispersed?
      • When Energy is transferred it is always dispersed until it is evenly distributed in all places.
    7. How does anything happen in terms of energy?
      • We harness the flow of Energy from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Analogy: water wheel
