F2F and online discussion

After a round of discussion, Hidy provided two further questions for discussion (i.e. “What are the differences, if any, between these 3 words: energy, fuel, and power?” and “What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy? Are both forms of energy conserved during energy transformations?”). Students were asked to share designs or technology which can help solve the energy crisis.

Identify good discussion

Examples of students’ work:

• Designing artifacts
Some created a poster, a board game and instructions to explain what the energy crisis is through play.
• Designing technology
• Developing energy conservation proposals
Some suggested plans/policies for the school and the Secretary for the Environment “… For example, installing motion sensors to turn off the lights in classrooms.”
