Teacher notes
This activity could be used as a plenary or revision exercise to check
students’ ability to identify the input and useful energy transfer for each
device. To increase class participation, students could use coloured
traffic light voting cards or asked to complete the activity on mini-
whiteboards. The activity could be concluded by completion on the
IWB.
