More Biology, Chemistry and Physics resources can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience

This lesson begins with a video about the formation of fossil fuels and the impact of these energy resources on our environment. Students will watch the video and will need to answer a set of questions, once this task has been completed students will self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.

Next, students considering which of the energy resources are renewable or non-renewable. Students will then use the posters, which can be placed around the room or on pupils desks, to complete a table which identifies how the energy resource generates electricity and the advantages and disadvantages of each energy resource.

Students are then given a list of statements about all power stations which they need to cut and stick (or write) into two columns - advantages or disadvantages. To challenge higher ability pupils this could be completed at the back of students books, so they cannot use information from the previous task. Pupils can then peer-assess their work.

The plenary activity is for students to summarise what they have learned this lesson three sentences.
