Energy Stores and Transfers KS3

This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year7/8 unit on ‘Energy Stores and Transfers’ (two lessons).

The lesson begins with a DO NOW task; name the ways energy can be stored.
Next, students are introduced to what is energy and lets use money as a model to help us understand energy.

Students are then introduced to the 8 energy stores; Nuclear, Chemical, Magnetic, Gravitational, Kinetic, Thermal, Elastic and Electrostatic and provided with a mnemonic. Students are to then complete a knowledge check.

Law of conservation is introduced and students are then introduced to energy transfers with a number of different examples provided.

The plenary quiz is a nice way to summarise what they have learned in this lesson.

All resources apart from worksheets are included, thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
