Key terms, concepts and formulae to introduce you to this course on energy. Potential , kinetic, thermal, gravitational, mechanical and other types of energy are explained here.
These slides consider energy transfer in the form of heat. Conduction, convection and radiation are the mediums of heat transfer. Consider how we can protect against heat loss for greater energy efficiency.
Short flashcards to aid revision of heat transfer. Brief explanations of transfer methods as well as related concepts such as U-value and solar irradiance.
This flash card deck covers the three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. It can be used in conjunction with the corresponding note on heat transfer, and the mind map on temperature & heat.
This section provides an introduction to the concept of change in energy stores. The law of conservation of energy is illustrated as well as the relationship between energy and work.

The concepts of energy, momentum, force and acceleration are closely related. This mindmap considers force and asks what happens between reactions of force and counter-force.
The EM spectrum contains infrared, visible light (protons), radio waves, gamma rays, x-rays and more. What we can see is only a fraction of the range of electromagnetic energy that fills the universe.
Visible light, x-rays and microwave energy are all examples of radiated energy. Take this quiz to refresh your knowledge of energy considered through radiation.
Energy, force, acceleration, velocity and mass. How do these concepts interact and effect one-another. Take this quiz to revise your understanding of these basic physical laws.
