Lesson notes

Indicator: B8.4.1.1.1 - Describe energy conversion

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Define energy conversion and list at least four common forms of energy (chemical, kinetic, electrical, heat, light, sound).
Describe at least three everyday examples of energy being converted from one form to another, using the correct sequence of energy forms.
Trace the complete energy conversion chain for a given device or situation (e.g., a torch, a solar panel, a person eating fufu).
Draw a simple labelled diagram or flow chart showing energy conversion for one device of their choice.
Explain, orally or in writing, why energy conversion is useful in daily life without yet discussing its importance in detail (which comes in Week 7).
