Lesson1 of 3 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7ScienceHuman EndeavourEnvironmentalEnergySustainabilityWaterSocialIndigenous Education
Lesson Summary
Students will explore how scientific knowledge can be used to address energy challenges in First Nations communities. They will analyse case studies on how remoteness affects energy choices and use scientific knowledge to develop and communicate a proposal to improve energy systems for one of the case studies.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- analyse how isolation shapes energy choices and challenges in remote communities
- examine scientific responses (hybrid systems, microgrids) and their impacts on society and the environment
- consider ethical and economic factors when evaluating energy solutions.
Success criteria
Students can:
- compare different remote energy systems using evidence
- describe the environmental, social and economic impacts of diesel vs hybrid energy systems
- propose a scientific response that considers ethics and community needs.
