These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Distinguish between the energy in the kinetic store of an object and the object’s speed.
• Describe how mass and speed affect the amount of energy in the kinetic store of the object...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• State that the energy in the gravitational store depends only on the mass of an object and its position in the gravitational field.         
• Describe how gravitational field...

This resource explores UK energy sources. Students will learn that the UK currently uses a mixture of non-renewable and renewable energy resources for its energy supply but to mitigate climate change, more renewables must be used. Students will be able to give examples of why, where and how, wind, solar,...

This activity sheet examines students' knowledge of energy resources and challenges them to interpret real-world energy source data. The context of the activity sheet is a company responsible for managing and maintaining gas pipelines called Penspen. Much of the gas used for electricity generation in the UK is...

This resource from the Geological Society explores how energy resources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, wind, sunlight and geothermal energy are all natural resources that can be used to produce heat and electricity.

Pupils learn that energy sources can be either renewable or non-renewable. Non-renewable...
