Energy Forms & Changes Simulation

Energy is never made or destroyed, only changed from one form to another — and some of it always ends up as thermal energy. Heating a block raises the temperature of its particles; heat flows from hot to cold until everything reaches the same temperature, and different materials need very different amounts of energy to warm up.

In this energy forms and changes simulation you heat and cool iron, brick, water and olive oil on burners and watch energy flow between them. A second screen builds an energy system: the Sun, a tap, a kettle or a cyclist drives a generator or solar panel that lights a bulb, heats water or spins a fan, with energy chunks showing every change of form. It suits Work and Energy in Class 9 and Thermal Properties of Matter in Class 11.
