Fully resourced single lesson DME on wind farms. Students require only very basic prior knowledge of fossil fuels and renewable energy. Has been used as an end-of-year assessment at KS3
A full lesson to introduce students to the components of an investigation; purpose, hypotheses, methods, data, analysis, conclusion and evaluation. Based upon an in-class quantitative research piece (you could add more choices to this depending on age of students and how adventurous you want to be! e.g. pedestrian or traffic counts)
Fun end-of-activity lesson. Also great as end of term extra. The resource makes an A3 mat and students are guided to design their own 5 ingredient smoothie and then calculate food miles. Can be done simply using the food labels on the mat or using I.T. to research the origin of their own ingredients.
Introductory information about Carbon Footprint with comprehension questions. Questionnaire to calculate their own Footprint, together with a template to look at their own actions in an effort to reduce day-to-day Footprint.
Begins by introducing the many ways that we use data in our everyday lives. Students then move onto a DME about holiday destinations (resources provided). Their research is to be presented as Ppt or other presentation tool.
Students have to conduct fieldwork at 3 school locations and make a decision about a new seating area. Opportunities to measure both microclimate factors and also complete an EQI. Can be modified if you do not have anemometers, thermometers or a rain gauge!
