Overall Energy sources are either renewable or non-renewable. Choices about using energy and resources have both immediate and long-term impacts. Conservation (reducing our use of energy and resources) is one way of reducing the impacts of using energy and resources. Analyse the immediate and long-term effects of energy and resource use on society and the environment, and evaluate options for conserving energy and resources. Investigate energy transformation and conservation. Demonstrate an understanding of the various forms and sources of energy and the ways in which energy can be transformed and conserved. Specifics Analyse the long-term impacts on society and the environment of human uses of energy and natural resources, and suggest ways to reduce these impacts. Evaluate the effects of various technologies on energy consumption and propose ways in which individuals can improve energy conservation. Follow established safety procedures for using tools and materials. Use scientific inquiry/research skills to investigate issues related to energy and resource conservation. Use technological problem-solving skills to design, build and test a device that transforms one form of energy into another and examine ways in which energy is being “lost” in the device. Use appropriate science and technology vocabulary in oral and written communication. Use a variety of forms to communicate with different audiences and for a variety of purposes. Identify a variety of forms of energy and give examples from every day life of how that energy is used Identify renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. Describe how energy is stored and transformed in a given device or system. Recognize that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be changed from one form to another. Explain that energy that is apparently “lost” from a system has been transformed into other energy forms (usually heat or sound) that are not useful to the system. |
