ICSE Class 7 Physics, Unit 3: Energy
From the CISCE curriculum. 6 key concepts, about 2 days of study at 20 to 30 minutes a day.
What this unit aims at
This theme aims at enabling children to know about energy and the different its forms namely, kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy and electrical energy. They will also understand that one form of energy can be converted into another form and that this is known as transformation of energy. Energy is conserved during transformation. This is known as the law of Conservation of Energy.
Your child should be able to
- define energy
- express energy in proper units
- discuss about different forms of energy
- describe conversion of energy from one form to another in different situations
- state law of conservation of energy, with examples
Key concepts in this unit
- Energy:
- Energy as capacity to do work.
- Units of energy (joule and calorie).
- Different forms of energy.
- Inter-conversion of energy Law of Conservation of Energy:
- Real world examples.
Teach this unit at home
- A day-by-day plan from the CISCE concepts, so you know what to cover each day.
- A step-by-step script for each day, so you know what to say and ask (AI-written from the CISCE curriculum, so check it against your child's school book).
- A quiz at the end.
