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!
