Energy can be transferred through a variety of ways.
In this unit, students connect their explorations of Earth and life sciences with physical sciences with an exploration into the relationship between magnetism and electricity. In this lesson, they explore the interactions between magnets and electricity. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore how communication systems transmit information from one person or place to another. In this lesson, students use what they know about the science phenomena of electromagnets and magnetic fields to design a speaker, a common decoding device in many audio technologies. This page highlights key components of this lesson.
In this unit, students are introduced to the phenomena of magnetic and electric fields as they explore how objects can interact with other objects without coming into contact with them. For this lesson, students apply scientific concepts to engineer wind turbines that use a generator to produce electricity. This page provides an overview of this lesson.
In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of interactions between energy and matter, analyzing how matter can only change when enough energy is present. In this lesson, they investigate the structure of molecules, relating this structure to the matter’s properties. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.
In this unit, students build on their knowledge of energy by exploring the relationship between energy and matter. In this lesson students conduct an investigation into the science phenomenon of how energy is transferred in an endothermic reaction. This page provides an overview of this lesson.
In this unit, students focus on the Earth-Sun-moon system to explore how gravity pulls objects including satellites into orbit. In this lesson, students engineer an insulating solution for a prototype satellite that minimizes the amount of thermal energy transferred into or out of it.
