Energy Transformations: Visual Walkthrough

Section role: supports the formalization of energy terms in Section 3 while the teacher guides the class from their Energy Chain discoveries to academic vocabulary. Slides: (1) Title — 'Unmasking the Energy Law'; (2) Potential Energy — bullets: definition of stored energy, example of the flashlight battery from Section 2; (3) Kinetic Energy — bullets: definition of motion energy, example of the solar-powered toy car; (4) Energy Transformation — bullets: how energy changes forms, pointing back to the flashlight-to-car system; (5) Kitchen Example — bullets: a toaster plugging into a wall converting electrical energy to thermal energy; (6) Playground Example — bullets: a child on a swing shifting between potential and kinetic energy; (7) The Law of Conservation of Energy — bullets: energy cannot be created or destroyed, explaining that energy does not disappear when a toy stops moving but turns into heat or sound; (8) Video Exploration — bullets: prompt for video [0] to visualize the invisible process. Closing slide: 'Where did the energy go when the toy car stopped?' — hands control back to the teacher for discussion before the final check in Section 4.
