Bbc: Gcse Bitesize: Changes in Energy Stores
Energy can be described as being in different "stores". It cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways. There are seven main stores of energy: magnetic, internal (thermal), chemical,...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium Where Does the Energy of a Spark Come From?
Students define potential energy and explore the relationship between potential energy and field. How does potential energy change when things are pushed or pulled? Where does the energy that was used to charge the Van de Graaff...

Concord Consortium What Is Happening When a Spark Occurs? Activity 2: What Happens to Energy When Objects Collide?
An investigation of what happens to energy during changes.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium Where Does the Energy of a Spark Come From?
Activity 2 of the module investigates Where does the energy used to charge the Van de Graaff generator go? The activity investigates how objects can interact without touching, as well as what happens to potential energy when objects...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium Where Does the Energy of a Spark Come From?
Activity 3 investigates Why is lightning so much bigger that a spark from the Van de Graff generator? In Activity 3 of this module, students investigate factors that affect the amount of potential energy that is stored.
