Situation

In the year 2020, it is predicted that our environment could be damaged by nonrenewable energy sources such as oil, coal and gas. These fuel sources may produce green house gases that can change the climate. The change in climate could see more floods, fires, droughts and storms. Challenge1 Identify a form of renewable energy. Use research to understand how it works. Produce a labelled design to show how it is used to produce energy. Challenge 2 Design a system that will significantly reduce the amount of energy we use in our day to day lives. Your design should show how you have Reduced the use of materials or used a sustainable material.

When designing, consider the 3 R’s

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Success Criteria - Levels

Grade 2

Identified a source of renewable energy and shown how the energy is produced. Materials are identified clearly on the design. Clear labelling is evident and materials choices are explained.

Grade 3

The design is rendered or shaded well and the design has been evaluated. Creativity has been shown in the design and a detailed evaluation has been produced. A clear, imaginative design has been produced and key parts of the design are explained.

Grade 4

An explanation of how the use of materials have been reduced is also included. Research has been included to explain how materials selected are environmentally friendly.

Grade 5 and above

Examples of existing products that look to use renewable sources of energy are researched in detail.
