Physical Science Content Descriptions
Energy appears in different forms, including movement (kinetic energy), heat and potential energy, and energy transformations and transfers cause change
within systems
 recognising that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by moving bodies
 recognising that potential energy is stored energy, such as gravitational, chemical and elastic energy
 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
 recognising that heat energy is often produced as a by-product of energy transfer, such as brakes on a car and light globes
 using flow diagrams to illustrate changes between different forms of energy
