JHS1 Science · Term 2 Week 12: Conversion and Conservation of Energy

Lesson notes

Indicator: B7.4.3.1.2 - Demonstrate the conversion of energy into useable forms.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

identify at least three everyday devices or activities in Ghana that involve energy conversion and state the energy change that occurs in each.
draw simple labelled diagrams showing energy conversion chains, such as from electrical energy to light and heat energy.
explain, with examples, why energy conversion is important for making energy usable in homes, schools, farms and industries.
classify given energy conversions into the forms of energy involved, such as kinetic, potential, electrical, heat, light and sound energy.
demonstrate curiosity by investigating and reporting one new example of energy conversion from their own environment, building on the previous lesson on conservation of energy.
