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. 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. |
