Energy Chapter (Student Notes, Teacher Key, Slides)

Item description

Print & Go Notes – No Prep Needed!

This resource includes student notes, a teacher key, and slides for teaching. It follows the Alberta Science 10 Unit B (Physics) Curriculum.

Student Notes (16 PDF pages) covers the following topics:

• types and classification of energy

• potential energy calculations

• kinetic energy calculations (including formula manipulation)

• how kinetic energy varies with mass and speed

• mechanical energy definition and calculations (examples and practice)

• first law of thermodynamics

• diagrams/explanations for maximum kinetic energy and maximum potential energy being equal

• energy conversions (input, output, waste)

• second law of thermodynamics

• efficiency (definition, calculation, examples, practice)

• sources of energy with pros and cons

• comparison of energy conversions and efficiency for fossil fuels and hydro-electric power

• classification of energy sources as solar vs non-solar, renewable vs non-renewable

• chapter review questions (please note: these are mixed into my unit review; so there are a few questions from the previous chapter, kinematics, that you may need to have students skip over).

Google Slides:

• go with student notes perfectly so easy to follow along

• completely animated so teachers can pace accordingly/ask questions before revealing information

• come with “teaching notes” (in the speaker notes) with guiding questions, things to emphasize, etc.

• extra slides with the presentation backgrounds for if you want to add in more slides
