power (mechanics)

Provides experiments and lesson plans for teachers that demonstrate such concepts as energy of motion, stored energy, and energy conservation.

Explores scientific questions about the nature of energy. Provides an explanation of energy and covers mechanical power, early pioneers of electricity, the Industrial Revolution, and how energy today is easily accessible to everyone.

Explores new and alternative sources of energy upon which mankind must depend in the future, as fossil energy sources are depleted, and explains the difficulties involved in gathering and converting this energy.

Describes the relationship between energy and work, and the difference between energy of motion and stored energy. Identifies situations in which energy is transferred. Describes different forms of energy. Explains how heat is turned into motion.

Describes forces that make objects move and slow down, such as friction and gravity; and includes related experiments.

Presents basic information about energy in question and answer format.

An illustrated introduction for early readers to the basic principles of energy, and describe what energy is, electricity, magnets, light, sound, chemical energy, and other topics.
