Form 6 have been exploring the concept of energy stores and transfers through a series of hands-on experiments and activities. One of their key investigations involved studying the transfer of energy in a bouncing ball. By accurately recording the ball’s bounce using their iPad cameras, the pupils were able to observe and measure how energy is transferred during the ball’s motion, as well as calculate the percentage of energy lost with each bounce. This experiment helped the pupils understand how energy is conserved and dissipated in real-world scenarios.

Continuing their learning journey, Form 6 then shifted their focus to the energy found in different foods. They engaged in an in-depth evaluation of how energy is stored in various types of food and how that energy can be released and used by the body. By conducting experiments and analysing nutritional information, the pupils gained a better understanding of the role food plays in providing the necessary energy for daily activities. Through these activities, Form 6 developed a deeper appreciation for the different forms of energy in their everyday lives and how energy can be measured, transferred, and used effectively.
