You should think of "watt" as a rate or speed ... it's the speed
of using energy, but instead of
speed, it's called "power".
1 watt means that 1 joule of energy is being used every
second.
1 watt-second means the amount of energy used in one second,
when it's used at the rate of 1 watt.
In the last paragraph, we just said that this is 1 joule of
energy.
"Kilowatt" is also a rate at which energy is used. It's 1,000
joules per second, or 1,000 watts.
