Work, Power, Energy Overview and Review |
This presentation gives an overview and review of the topics of Work, Power and Energy. | Slide Show (HTML5) |
Energies & the Law of Conservation of Energy |
This looks at the major forms of energy (KE, GPE, EPE, internal) and how to apply the conservation of energy. | Slide Show (HTML5) |
Energy of a Mass on a Spring |
This movie demonstrates the amount of elastic, kinetic and gravitational energy present in a mass hanging from a spring. Interactive Lab Bungee Jumper Lab |
Movie & Explanation |
Energy Conservation |
This presentation looks at ways to save electrical energy and avoid wasting money. This is not the same thing as the Law of Conservation of Energy. | Slide Show (HTML5) |
PowerHouse | This interactive house lets you turn on household electrical items and see the immediate effect on your electric bill. Outstanding simulation. | Interactive Lab (Shockwave) Not Local |
Energy of a Pendulum |
This movie demonstrates the amount of kinetic and gravitational energy present in a swinging pendulum. Interactive Lab (Shockwave) Not Local (slightly flawed) |
Movie & Explanation |
Energy on a Hill |
These movies demonstrate the difference between a ball on a hill with friction and a ball on a hill with no friction. Interactive Lab (Shockwave) Not Local |
Movies & Explanation |
Roller Coaster Energy |
This movie demonstrates the energy (gravitational, and kinetic) of a roller coaster as it goes from the first hill to the end of the ride. | Movie & Explanation |
Energy of Falling with Air Friction |
This lesson looks at the gravitational, kinetic, and internal energy of a brick as it falls to the ground. Interactive Lab (Shockwave) Not Local Bouncing Lab (Shockwave) Not Local |
Movie & Explanation |
Work Done |
This lesson looks at the effect of a force being applied to three different masses with respect to the kinetic energy of the masses. | Movie & Explanation |
Solar Energy - Insolation |
This lesson deals with the flow of solar energy onto planet Earth and how minor changes influence the seasons. | Animations (HTML5) |
Greenhouse Effect |
Looks at the reality of the Greenhouse effect from an energy flow point of view. | Animations (HTML5) |
