This Energy Introduction lesson package begins by introducing Energy and its requirement for life and comfort on Earth. It then looks at where we get our energy from including solar, hydroelectric power generation, etc. It then looks at the Types of energy available including Thermal, Electrical, Radiant, Nuclear, Gravitational, Kinetic, Elastic, Sound, and Chemical. Lastly, the presentation describes energy units and energy transformation as it changes from one energy form to another.

This package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), an auto-graded Exit Ticket, TWO embedded videos, and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion.

In order, the lesson covers:

• Energy = Life
• Where do we get energy from?
• Types of energy
  • Thermal
  • Electrical
  • Radiant
  • Nuclear
  • Gravitational
  • Kinetic
  • Elastic
  • Sound
  • Chemical

• Energy units
• Energy transformation

Included in the lesson package is:

• The teacher version of the presentation

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

This lesson is part of my Work, Energy, and Power Unit which includes the following lessons plus many activities, assessments, etc.

Lesson 1 - Energy And Its Forms

Lesson 2 - Work and Energy

Lesson 3 - Kinetic and Gravitational Potential Energy

Lesson 4 - The Law of Conservation of Energy and Efficiency

Lesson 5 - Thermal Energy, Temperature and Heat

Lesson 6 - Power
