This section lists the series of animations that can be used to show students key principles of energy, from Key Stage 3 to introductory Post-16. The twelve booklets are grouped as follows: • Section 1: Temperature and energy • Section 2: Energy stores and transfers • Section 3: Conservation and dissipation Section 1: Temperature and energy   Animation 01 Booklet 1: Mixing Energy and dye behave in similar ways when they transfer from place to place. That is useful for understanding energy. Open animation   Animation 02 Booklet 2: Difference and flow These animations use the energy-dye comparison again. They show transfer of energy and dye between two quantities of water. They explore the importance of difference. Open animation   Animation 03 Booklet 3: Spreading Out These animations introduce ideas about conservation (‘staying the same’) and dissipation (‘spreading very thinly’). Open animation   Animation 04 Booklet 4: Heating and Cooling This builds on the ideas of the first three booklets. It shows how the ideas relate to everyday events. Open animation   Animation 05 Booklet 5: Insulation These animations deal with the effects of insulation. They cover various situations including a hot water tank, frozen food, and coins at room temperature. Open animation Section 2: Energy stores and transfers   Animation 06 Booklet 6: Hot stores of energy These animations show that an object that is hotter than its surroundings acts as a store of energy. Energy can transfer from the hotter object EITHER by heating its surroundings OR by way of force and motion. Open animation   Animation 07 Booklet 7: Moving stores of energy A moving object, just like a hot object, acts as a store of energy. Energy can transfer from the moving object EITHER by heating the surroundings OR by way of force and motion. Open animation   Animation 08 Booklet 8: Doing work to store energy It is possible to put energy into stores by using force and motion. Stretched springs and raised masses act as the stores. Open animation   Animation 09 Booklet 9: Chemical stores of energy A battery acts as a store of energy. It is a chemical store, from which energy can transfer through a circuit to the world around it. Open animation Section 3: Conservation and dissipation   Animation 10 Booklet 10: Storing and transferring These animations look at the difference between energy stores and energy transfer devices. Open animation   Animation 11[1] Booklet 11: Some transfer devices These animations explore transfers of energy between some different types of energy store. Open animation   Animation 11 [2] Booklet 11: Some transfer devices Energy stores and energy transfer devices can operate together in a ‘chain’. Open animation   Animation 11 [3] Booklet 11: Some transfer devices These animations provide more practice with chains of energy stores and transfer devices. Open animation   Animation 12 Booklet 12: Dissipation and efficiency These animations use energy transfer arrows to explore ideas about energy transfer and dissipation. Open animation < prev | next >
