Elaboration (3) ACSSU180

considering the role of heat energy and convection currents in the movement of tectonic plates

Elaboration (4) ACSSU182

investigating factors that affect the transfer of energy through an electric circuit

Elaboration (2) ACSSU190

comparing energy changes in interactions such as car crashes, pendulums, lifting and dropping

Elaboration (3) ACSSU190

using models to describe how energy is transferred and transformed within systems

Elaboration (1) ACSHE230

considering innovative energy transfer devices, including those used in transport and communication

Elaboration (3) ACPPS040

exploring and developing responsible and sustainable classroom practices such as recycling, composting and energy saving

investigating different forms of energy in terms of the effects they cause, such as gravitational potential causing objects to fall and heat energy transferred between materials that have a different temperature

Unit 1: Thermal, nuclear and electrical physics Physics

An understanding of heating processes, nuclear reactions and electricity is essential to appreciate how global energy needs are met. In this unit, students explore the ways physics is used to describe, explain and predict the energy transfers and transformations …

ACSES077

Ecosystems provide a range of renewable resources, including provisioning services (for example, food, water, pharmaceuticals), regulating services (for example, carbon sequestration, climate control), supporting services (for example, soil formation, …

ACSES053

Photosynthesis is the principal mechanism for the transformation of energy from the sun into energy forms that are useful for living things; net primary production is a description of the rate at which new biomass is generated, mainly through photosy …

ACSPH021

Change of state involves internal energy changes to form or break bonds between atoms or molecules; latent heat is the energy required to be added to or removed from a system to change the state of the system

ACSPH025

Energy transfers and transformations in mechanical systems (for example, internal and external combustion engines, electric motors) always result in some heat loss to the environment, so that the usable energy is reduced and the system cannot be 100 percent …

ACSPH040

The energy available to charges moving in an electrical circuit is measured using electric potential difference, which is defined as the change in potential energy per unit charge between two defined points in the circuit

ACSPH065

Energy is conserved in isolated systems and is transferred from one object to another when a force is applied over a distance; this causes work to be done and changes to kinetic and/or potential energy of objects
