Energy Detective KS3

Energy Detective KS3 is a five-mission Year 8 activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS3 physics (energy). Learners name the five energy stores (kinetic, thermal, chemical, gravitational potential and elastic), follow energy as it is transferred between stores while it is always conserved, spot wasted energy dissipated as heat, sort non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) from renewable resources (solar, wind and hydro), explain heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation, and work out simple efficiency from the useful energy transferred out. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
