In the Energy Sources module, students are introduced to the idea that all plants and animals need energy. In fact, people need energy to live, work, grow, and play. Interactive games help students practice identifying energy types that we use every day, such as electricity, food, and sunlight.

In the Light Energy module, students learn that light energy is the energy that allows them to see the matter around them. Through interactive lesson and activities, students explore the differences between natural and man-made light.

In the Heat Energy module, students explore the type of energy that can be felt. Students use their hands to build friction and make heat energy themselves. In the activity “Larry in his Laboratory”, students learn about conduction and radiation with an animated host and live-video examples.

The Sound Energy module allows students to experiment with the kind of energy that can be heard when matter is present to carry the vibration. Students learn about pitch, volume, and vibration as they explore and watch different methods of making sound.

Students today have a lot of experience with electrical energy. In the Electrical Energy module, students explore the types of things electrical energy does.

In the Energy Transformations module, students learn about energy flow. They connect what they have learned about sound, heat, and light energy with new knowledge about energy transformations.
