Example of energy transfer— boiling water using an electric kettle
Video
What is this?
What will happen?
What type of energy can the kettle get from the socket?
Electricity
The water starts boiling now, will it get warmer or cooler?
Energy transfer occurs, from electrical to thermal
Video
What happened to the water when it starts boiling?
The water moves around inside the kettle
How to describe the “moving” energy? Let’s go to BBC Bitesize
Moving things have kinetic energy
The water moves around inside the kettle so energy is wasted as Kinetic energy
What can you hear when the water is boiling?
Another unwanted transfer in the kettle is to Sound energy
