|
A system is an object or group of objects. |
|
What is a system? Starter:
Recall the different types/forms of energy from KS3
Introduce the idea of systems and stores.
Ask students to group/classify them as systems and stores. |
|
|
|
Energy can be transferred usefully, stored or dissipated, but cannot be created or destroyed. |
|
What is the law of conservation of energy? Recall the law of conservation of energy.
GF: Discuss the reasons why in a chemical reaction the energy and atoms are conserved. |
|
|
|
There are changes in the way energy is stored when a system changes. |
|
When a system changes, what happens to the way energy is stored? Class Practical - Energy Circus |
|
|
|
Students should be able to describe with examples where there are energy transfers in a closed system, that there is no net change to the total energy. |
|
What is the net change in energy in a closed system? Give an example. DEMO:
Energy Transfer Candle Model (http://www.neilatkin.com/2016/06/09/teaching-energy-new-approach/)
GF: Evaluate the model used to represent energy stores and pathways. Include the difference between energy transformation and transfers in your response. |
