Energy Now: a resource to support energy teaching in the classroom
This multimedia package was developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme to provide teachers with clear and consistent ways of talking about energy. Energy is a particularly difficult concept to explain. These resources aim to cut through the confusion that often surrounds the energy concept, and examines some of the key teaching and learning issues. Energy Now includes ideas and background information, suggested practical work, and animations that can be used directly by students in the classroom. Key ideas include how energy is stored, how energy is transferred, conservation of energy and dissipation of energy.
