Introduction to Energy
By Oliver Smith
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, and this concept is known as the conservation of energy. Because of this, the universe has a finite amount of energy which is transferred from one form to another. The activities in this lesson plan explore different forms of energy and energy transfers through the creation of visual aids.

- Speed
- Gravity
- The ability to do work (motion or change), measured in Joules (J).
- How fast something is travelling. Measure in meters per second (ms-1 or m/s).

- Introduction to Energy
- Efficiency
- Electrical Energy (200J)
- Efficiency = 70%
- Light Energy (140 J)
- The idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred from one form to another.
- Thermal Energy (40J)
- The proportion of the total input energy that is transferred to useful forms. Efficiency = useful energy (J) ÷ total energy (J)
- Thermal Energy (60J)
