Delivered on your site, this hands-on experience will further develop students' knowledge and understanding of a range of energy types - including electrical , light, thermal, kinetic & potential energies. Energy transfer, transformation and efficiency is explored through observation and interaction with a range of learning resources. Students investigate the predominant way electrical energy is generated in Australia currently and consider the impact non-renewable energy systems have on the environment and economy. The energy trailer is an engaging starting point for students to begin to compare and contrast different renewable energies and evaluate how these could be incorporated into our energy needs in Australia.
Key Concepts: Energy, electricity, transform, transfer, renewable, non-renewable, turbine, solar, coal power, environment
Activity Duration approx. 1h - perfect to rotate science classes through one at a time.
