Content description
Energy conservation in a system can be explained by describing energy transfers and transformations
Elaborations
- recognising that the Law of Conservation of Energy explains that total energy is maintained in energy transfer and transformation
- recognising that in energy transfer and transformation, a variety of processes can occur, so that the usable energy is reduced and the system is not 100% efficient
- comparing energy changes in interactions such as car crashes, pendulums, lifting and dropping
- using models to describe how energy is transferred and transformed within systems
Cross-curriculum priorities
