Energy Architects: Engineering a More Efficient Future
Lesson2 of 6 in this unit
SecondaryYear 9SciencePhysicsEnvironmentalClimate ChangeEnergySustainabilityEconomicIndustry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will apply the law of conservation of energy to analyse system efficiency in terms of energy inputs, outputs, transfers and transformations by investigating case studies of renewable energy projects in Queensland. They will explore how scientists and engineers enhance the efficiency of these systems and engage with real-world examples and career pathways in the energy sector.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand and apply the law of conservation of energy to analyse the efficiency of energy systems, including the roles of scientists and engineers in making renewable energy infrastructure more efficient.
Success criteria
Students can:
- describe how energy inputs, outputs transfers, and transformations occur within an energy system
- analyse the efficiency of renewable energy systems by applying the law of conservation of energy
- explain the development of an example of renewable energy infrastructure using a case study and a career example.
