Use a series of demos to show that information and energy are transferred in everyday situations:

  • Use a light source and solar cell attached to a fan, discuss the energy transfer
  • Use a radio to discuss where the information comes from
  • Use a lamp that you can swich on and off to signal morse code, discuss what is being transferred
  • Use a microwave detector and a mobile phone to show the transfer of information
  • Use a microphone and speaker to discuss energy transfer (have a candle infront of the speaker) as well as the information transferred
