The 3-part Shedding Light on Energy series allows teachers to teach the topic of energy really easily without actually using much energy! With a perfect mix of biology, chemistry, and physics, we explore every aspect of energy including what it is and how we measure it.

The three programs in the series brilliantly cover:

  • the many different forms of energy;
  • energy transformations (it's like magic, but better);
  • where the energy in our food comes from;
  • the amount of time a single kilogram of fat can fuel us for (we're talking days!);
  • the unit for energy, the joule;
  • power and the watt (the what? Yes, the watt);
  • the energy content of different foods (and how it's measured);
  • the energy expenditure of the human body (and how it's measured);
  • energy balance (and how it can go wrong);
  • the two simple rules for weight loss (that's right, there are only two!);
  • where the fat actually goes when people lose weight;
  • efficiency (there's never been a more efficient way of learning about it);
  • why LED globes have taken over from incandescents (and why it took so long even though LEDs have been around since the 1960s);
  • how the arches of our feet help us to chase down horses (yes, you read that correctly!)
  • and much more!
