Some examples from ECLIPSE of what students have said relating to energy:
Energy can be created, but only in biology
Plants mainly respire at night because they are photosynthesising during the day
Respiration produces energy, but photosynthesis produces glucose which produces energy
Sleep, like food, can give us a bit more energy
What are the bits of electricity, if the the speed of the electrons is actually really slow?
Bill on plants storing sunlight
Energy is like a control cente?: an example of a student-generated simile from the ASCEND enrichment project.
This is just one of a wide range of science topics that learners have talked about in ECLIPSE projects.
