Year 10ScienceEarth and SpaceEnvironmentalClimate ChangeEnergyWaterEconomicIndustry, Innovation and InfrastructureJob ReadyTechnology
Lesson Summary
Students will explore how renewable energy can be used as a strategy to reduce climate change and its effects by investigating specific types of renewable energy (solar, hydro, wind, or batteries) and examining their functionality, impact on Earth's spheres, and role in mitigating climate change.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand how the interactions between Earth's spheres are impacted by climate change
- explore how renewable energy technologies can mitigate the effects of climate change.
Success criteria
Students can:
- identify and describe the impacts of climate change on the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere
- analyse how different renewable energy sources (solar, hydro, wind and batteries) influence climate change and energy flow between Earth's spheres
- explain how technologies like solar panels, hydropower, wind turbines, and battery storage help mitigate the effects of climate change and contribute to sustainable energy flow.
