Lessons
- 1How Circuits WorkElectricity flows through circuits. A simple circuit needs a power source, a conductor (wire), and a load (like a light bulb). Breaking the circuit stops the flow of electricity.Lesson
- 2Kinetic Energy: Energy of MotionKinetic energy is the energy of motion. A moving car, a rolling ball, and a flying bird all have kinetic energy. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.Lesson
- 3Potential Energy: Stored EnergyPotential energy is stored energy based on position or condition. A ball at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy. A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy.Experiment
- 4Energy TransformationEnergy can be transformed from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. A light bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat energy.Lesson
- 5Renewable and Nonrenewable EnergyRenewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power can be replenished naturally. Nonrenewable sources like fossil fuels take millions of years to form.Lesson
