Lesson Plan: Efficiency Physics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to calculate the efficiency of electrical devices given their useful energy output and total energy output.
Objectives

- what energy is,
- the idea that energy is transferred by different processes,
- the idea that there are different categories of energy.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- non-energy efficiencies,
- heat engines,
- Carnot efficiency,
- Sankey diagrams.
