Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesTeaches caveman Zog that people use energy in one of two main ways: by moving heat from one place to another (conduction, convection, or radiation) or by transferring energy from one form to another by using an appliance, like a lamp or car. Appliances always waste some energy, and Zog learns why energy efficient appliances are the best choices people have today. As only a caveman can, Zog provides plenty of laughs along the way to finding clever and complete answers to elementary energy questions.

This was a great video. The visuals used in the movie really helped my students understand the concept.
