Learning intentions:
Students will...
- understand how balanced and unbalanced forces influence the operation of wind turbines and hydro turbines, and how force magnitude and direction affect these energy systems.
Success criteria:
Students can...
- measure the magnitude of a force using a force meter, and represent the magnitude and direction of forces acting on an object using force arrow diagrams
- conduct experiments to observe how varying amounts of force affect the performance of wind turbines and hydro turbines
- analyse how changing the force impacts the efficiency and functionality of wind turbines and hydro turbines.
