ENERGY
Potential and kinetic energy transformation demonstrates that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but transforms from one form to another.
What is kinetic and potential energy?
This video explains how in a roller coaster system, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Science for kids: Energy transformation video
This video explains that energy is the ability to do work and that it is neither created nor destroyed. It provides examples of energy transformations.
Hot and cold water science experiment
This experiment demonstrates that hot water is less dense than cold water.
Conduction of heat
This video demonstrates the transfer of heat with an experiment and explains the conditions required for conduction of heat.
Different sources of energy and using it responsibly
This gives basic information about the different sources of energy and the differences between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. It also discusses how to conserve energy at home.
Renewable energy explained in 2.5 minutes
This animation explains the different types of energy such as fossil fuels, biomass, nuclear, and renewables.
Energy 101: Wind turbines
This demonstrates how wind turbines generate clean electricity from the power of the wind.
Energy 101: Hydropower
This video demonstrates how hydropower captures the kinetic energy of flowing water and turns it into electricity for home and businesses.

This video explains how in a roller coaster system, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, and how energy is neither created nor destroyed.
A guide to the energy of the Earth
This is an overview of how energy cycles through the systems on our Earth.
Science for kids: Heat energy video
This video explains that heat is a form of energy that always travels from a hotter substance to a colder substance.
Energy transfer by heating explains the differences among conduction, convection, and radiation and which is more efficient. Energy transfer explains how energy moves through conduction, convection, and radiation. National grid where energy comes from
This explains how energy is taken from its original source as fossil fuels and is delivered to homes for our use. It also explains how this energy is transformed in hydro plants and turbines.
Renewable energy
This gives a basic overview of renewable energy.
Energy 101: Geothermal energy
This video highlights the basic principles at work in geothermal energy production and illustrates three different ways the Earth's heat can be converted into electricity.
