Hands on Science:
HEAT -- CIMC Resources
Unit #1: Energy Sources
Energy
531 ENE
1 videocassette, 20 minutes + teacher's guide.
In this
video, students will learn about the five main forms of energy and how to
differentiate between them. High-action footage also highlights the difference
between kinetic and potential energy. Graphics and animation demonstrate how to
calculate kinetic and potential energy. Common every day examples illustrate how
we work and live with different types of energy.
Energy everywhere
531 ENE
1 videocassette, 16 minutes.
A bolt of lightning, a rolling stone, boiling water, energy is all around us. Students learn about electrical, chemical, nuclear and mechanical energy, the principles of potential and kinetic energy, how the Law of Conservation of Energy works. They see why roads and bridges have expansion joints. The program explains conduction, convection and radiation, and discusses solar, nuclear and wind energy.
Unit #2 Energy Transfer:
