Energy stores and transfers

Energy is stored in food, fuel and moving things, and it moves from one store to another.

Name the places energy is kept, follow it as it moves, see why some always spreads out as waste heat, tell heat from temperature, find how heat travels and how to slow it, read food energy in kilojoules, and sort fuels into renewable and not.

For parents and teachers

For learners who can read a page alone and do sums with the four operations. In many schools this fits children of about 11 to 13, and older learners can use it too. Activities use water, cloth, paper, cups, spoons, plastic bottles, a candle and the Sun. Anything with hot water or a flame needs an adult to pour the water, light the candle and stay close. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
