In this lesson, you will: compare the energy values of foods and fuels compare the energy requirements of different activities. Reqyuisition heatproof mats, splints, coffee whitener (or sugar) wide range of food labels, or make cards that include basic information about the energy per 100 g laminated cards providing the energy in 100 g of different fuels (examples of values per 100 g: coal 2900 kJ, oil 4200 kJ, natural gas 5500 kJ, firewood 1600 kJ) Give students a list of foods and fuels such as soups, crisps, ready meals, coal, oil, and so on. Ask students to work in pairs and predict the order of the foods and fuels in decreasing energy per 100 g. Put the labels of these foods and fuels around the room. Students record the energy per 100 g of each food and fuel and put them in order of decreasing energy.

KS3 Lesson on energy and food Learning Objectives are; compare the energy values of foods and fuels compare the energy requirements of different activities.

In this lesson, you will: describe how fossil fuels are formed describe the difference between a renewable and a non-renewable energy resource describe how electricity is generated with renewable and non-renewable resources.
