Before you begin

Teaching guide

What children will practise

Learn that energy makes things move, work, and give light, sound and heat; sort light, sound and heat sources into natural and man-made; meet household electrical appliances and electrical safety; and learn about energy from the sun, wind and water and how to save energy.

What's in the worksheet

20 slides (follow the page number in the bottom-right corner) in an energy factory with Fah, Mek and a robot helper - Pages 1-3: what energy is (moving, working, giving light, giving heat) and matching objects to the energy they use - Pages 4-10, light, sound and heat: light lets us see; natural light sources (sun, stars, fireflies) and man-made ones (bulb, torch, candle); sound comes from vibration and travels to our ears; sound from people, animals, instruments and machines; heat and heat safety; heat sources; and a ten-picture light, sound or heat sort - Pages 11-13, electricity: it makes a bulb, fan, radio and kettle work; six household appliances and their jobs; five safety rules (no wet hands on plugs, nothing poked into sockets, pull by the plug head) - Pages 14-18, energy sources and saving: sun, wind, water and biomass; solar panels; wind turbines and dams; energy through the day from 06.00 to 21.00; six ways to save energy - Pages 19-20: five A-B-C-D questions, matching pictures to energy types, and a certificate - There are no answer slides

How to use it in class

Use in a Year 1-3 energy unit over three or four lessons of about 30 minutes (pages 1-5, 6-10, 11-13, 14-20). - On page 6 have children touch their throats while speaking, or pluck a rubber band, to feel the vibration before circling sound makers - Give page 13 the most time, with thumbs up or down for each safe or unsafe picture, then set the basic electricity worksheet and the everyday energy worksheet

Common sticking points

- Thinking the Moon is a light source, though it reflects sunlight (the Moon is a distractor on page 4 and question 3 on page 19) - Thinking everything in the house runs on electricity, or that a bicycle does (page 11) - Thinking each thing gives only one kind of energy, e.g. a bulb gives only light, though it also gets hot, and the sun gives both light and heat - Pulling a plug out by the cable, or touching a plug with wet hands (page 13)
