This is a lesson which meets specification points for the new AQA 'Energy' module (2016).

The lesson begins by considering whether a pendulum placed in a vacuum will carry on swinging, pupils can discuss their thoughts and there is a video which shows an experiment taking place with a pendulum placed in different mediums. Pupils can then draw a diagram to show the energy transfers taking place as a pendulum swings.

Pupils are the introduced to the principal of the conservation of energy, they can write this definition down in their books.

Pupils are then given a blank cartoon strip, pupils will need to complete the captions to describe the energy transfers taking place during a bungee jump and they can draw a diagram to represent what is happening for each caption. **This task could be difficult for lower ability students, you can provide the words that go in the blanks on the board for pupils who may struggle with his task.**

The next slide has progress check questions for pupils to complete in their books, pupils can then peer-assess their work.

**Slides 6-7, which contain additional tasks on the conservation of energy - a fill-in-the blank task & a word search - could be used as an alternative to the more difficult progress check questions for classes of lower ability, or could be used as an extra activity for higher ability classes**

The plenary is a 3-2-1 task, pupils state 3 facts, 2 key words and create 1 question to test peers on the topic of the lesson.

All resources for this lesson are found at the end of the PowerPoint.
