Energy Resources

This is a resource to get students thinking about linking learning. On the sheet are various methods of generating electricity: Solar, fossil fuels, wind, wave, biomass and hydroelectric. The challenge is to develop flow diagrams to show how the energy in all of these were all derived from the sun. To do this the students must be able to link, food chains, water cycle, and electrical generation. As an extension activity students need to think which methods of electricity generation cannot be linked back to the sun. Provided is a teachers guide with samples of students work with advice on levels. These levels refer to the Welsh standards but should be broadly applicable to the rest of the UK.
