The Conservation of Energy

So, we have seen that there are different stores of energy that can be transferred and transformed. In Physics, "conserve" means to stay the same. In this short lesson we'll see what we mean by this. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video.

Calculating Work Done

How can we work out how much energy is transferred? That's what you'll find out today. Get a calculator at the ready as we're meeting our first physics formula! Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video

Gravitational Potential Energy

How much energy is transferred to objects when you lift them up against the force of gravity? If that's the questions you've always wanted answering, you're in for a treat! Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video

Kinetic Energy

How can we calculate the energy a moving object has? What factors affect this? How fast would I have to throw an egg at a wall to cook it? All of these questions are answered in this lesson... Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video

Energy Efficiency

What does it mean to be energy efficient? This lesson looks at how to compare and calculate efficiency. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video

Power

Watt is the unit of power? Maybe the best physics joke ever? If you don't get it, you will, after you have done this lesson! Buckle up - it's going to be a bumpy ride! Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
