Key takeaways
Understand that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.
Combine different equations for energy and power in exam questions.
Name the different types of energy, alongside useful and wasted energy.
Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. In Physics, work done on an object is energy transferred. The rate that energy transfers is known as power. In this short session, students will learn that energy can only be transferred, not created or destroyed as well as the names for different types of energy. Students will also be given the chance to practice the equations in exam style questions. This class is great for students in Years 9 - 11 who want to feel more confident in the topic and get the chance to practise so that they excel in future exams.
