| W |
Energy can be transferred from place to place. |
|
How is energy transferred? Name 4 examples. Demo:
Gear wheels or show picture of bicycle pedals and wheel. |
|
|
| W |
Energy can be transformed from one form to another.
Usually into more than one form. |
|
Does energy always stay in the same form? Explain your answer. Demo:
Light bulb or speaker. |
|
|
| T |
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed or transferred from place to place. |
|
What is meant by 'conservation of energy'? use water to model conservation of energy by labeling suitable sized beakers and showing all water conserved.
Pour water from large beaker into the different smaller beakers. Then back into the large beaker to show there is the same amount of 'energy' as you started. |

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' |
|
Why do we use energy transfer diagrams? Draw an energy transfer diagram for the energy transfers in a fan heater. |
|
|
| T |
Energy flows from high energy (the store) to areas of low energy (the surroundings). |
|
Which direction(s) does energy flow? |
|
|
| W |
When energy is transferred it is always dispersed until it is evenly distributed in all places. |
|
How is energy dispersed? |
|
|
| T |
We can harness this flow to do something.
Analogy: water wheel |
|
How does anything happen in terms of energy? |
|
|
|
comparing the starting with the final conditions of a system and describing increases and decreases in the amounts of energy associated with:
- movements,
- temperatures,
- changes in positions in a field,
- in elastic distortions and
- in chemical compositions |
