Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do we power our homes?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Most homes are heated with natural gas. This is piped to most homes through a national grid, although Rural homes may have a gas tank.
  2. Non-Renewable Energy Resources include: - Coal - Oil - Gas - Nuclear
  3. Homes used to be powered by oil. Some homes are still are. There is no national oil pipe network.
  4. Most of the other appliances in the home are powered by electricity.
  5. Electricity is generated in Power Stations which harness an 'Energy Resource'.
  6. Renewable Energy Resources include: - Wind - Wave - Hydro - Tidal - Solar - Biomass - Geothermal
  7. Most thermal power stations convert Chemical (or Nuclear) Energy into thermal by burning and then into Electrical Energy (Intermediate steps optional).
  8. Most non-thermal power stations convert Kinetic Energy into Electrical Energy (Intermediate steps optional).
  9. Solar power stations convert Light Energy into Electrical Energy directly.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What method is used to heat most homes? How do urban homes get this resource? How do rural homes get this resource?
    Most homes are heated with natural gas. This is piped to most homes through a national grid, although Rural homes may have a gas tank.
  2. What is a non-renewable energy source? Give some examples.
    A non-renewable energy source is an energy source that cannot be reused. Non-Renewable Energy Resources include: - Coal - Oil - Gas - Nuclear
  3. What is the main difference between homes powered by gas and homes powered by oil?
    Homes used to be powered by oil. Some homes are still are. There is no national oil pipe network.
  4. What are most of the appliances in the home powered by?
    Most of the other appliances in the home are powered by electricity.
  5. Where is electricity generated?
    Electricity is generated in Power Stations which harness an 'Energy Resource'.
  6. What is a renewable energy source? Give some examples.
    A renewable energy source is an energy source that can be reused.Renewable Energy Resources include: - Wind - Wave - Hydro - Tidal - Solar - Biomass - Geothermal
  7. How do most thermal power stations work?
    Most thermal power stations convert Chemical (or Nuclear) Energy into thermal by burning and then into Electrical Energy (Intermediate steps optional).
  8. How do most non-thermal power stations work?
    Most non-thermal power stations convert Kinetic Energy into Electrical Energy (Intermediate steps optional).
  9. What energy transfers occur in solar power stations?
    Solar power stations convert Light Energy into Electrical Energy directly.

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
