Science Energy Conceptual 12–13 yrs

Power: watts and energy per second

功率:瓦特与每秒能量

Description

Define power as the rate of energy transfer (power = energy ÷ time, measured in watts), and compare energy transfer rates in different everyday contexts

Mastery Evidence
  • States the definition of power and gives its unit (watt)
  • Uses P = E/t to calculate power, energy, or time given the other two quantities
  • Compares the power ratings of common appliances and explains what the rating means
  • Explains why a higher-powered device does the same job faster but uses more energy
Assessment Prompt

If your child was comparing a 100 W light bulb with a 10 W LED, could they explain what those numbers mean and calculate how much energy each uses in an hour?
