VCSSU104
Energy appears in different forms including movement (kinetic energy), heat, light, chemical energy and potential energy; devices can change energy from one form to another
Elaborations
-
recognising that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by moving bodies
-
recognising that potential energy is stored energy, for example, gravitational, chemical and elastic energy
-
using flow diagrams to illustrate changes between different forms of energy
-
investigating the energy transformations in devices, for example, a catapult or a water wheel
