Introducing students to basic concepts in physics, chemistry, and biology
A series of selected experiments is designed to familiarize students in the final grades of elementary school with the concept of energy and the principle of conservation of energy.
Students learn about the different forms of energy and their uses, while also exploring how energy is converted from one form to another or transferred from one object to another.
Finally, they discover the main sources of energy for living organisms by examining the differences in nutrition and metabolism between plant and animal organisms.
