This online resource looks at various sources of energy and how people use them.

The resource provides students with opportunities to explore the concept of energy, including renewable energy sources such as the Sun, wind and water.

Students will conduct investigations to determine factors that affect the output of a simple battery and participate in hands-on activities to consolidate their understanding and to improve the efficiency of a waterwheel.

Students also explore how scientific endeavours in relation to the development of sustainable energy sources are used to make changes in the world.
