Lesson Summary
Students will analyse how people in design and technologies occupations consider ethical, security and sustainability factors to innovate and improve products, services and environments by exploring how electricity is transmitted from power plants to communities, homes, and workplaces. They will investigate suitable locations for transmission lines and understand the roles and technologies involved. Additionally, they will make judgments on how landscape factors and technologies control engineered systems.
