Two lessons explore the connection between energy transformation and a given job. In lesson one, small groups role-play a scenario that showcases the energy transformations that may take place during a job-specific task. The second lesson challenges pupils to show what they know about Newton's Second Law by illustrating how it works while completing a job's daily goals.
