Energy Investigation

To support the pupils Science Energy Project, they require some background understanding of Energy.

• Types of Energy
• Where it comes from
• How it is converted
• Advantages/Disadvantages
• Renewable/Non-renewable

To support this a series of experiments/investigations are undertaken in class.

Experiments/Investigations

The following are useful websites to support the investigations.
