Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How much does the energy we use cost?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Comparing power ratings of domestic appliances in watts (W, kW)
  2. Heating appliances use a lot of energy.
  3. The amount of energy transferred by an appliance depends on the power rating of the appliance and the duration.
  4. Energy = power x time
  5. Sample calculations to include: J, kJ, kWhour units.
  6. A unit of electrical energy is the same as a kilowatt hour (kWh).
  7. The amount of electrical energy used by a customer is measured by an electrical meter.
  8. The cost of electricity is equal to number of units x cost per unit.
  9. The cost of an electrical unit is around 15p. The cost of Gas is around 4p per kWh, which is why it is preferred for heating applications.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Watts: The unit of measurement of power (1)
  • Power: The rate of energy transfer. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What sort of appliances generally use the most energy?
    Heating appliances use a lot of energy.
  2. What does the amount of energy transferred depend on?
    The amount of energy transferred by an appliance depends on the power rating of the appliance and the duration.
  3. What is the equation for calculating energy?
    Energy = power x time
  4. How many Joules are there in a kilojoule?
    There are 1000 joules in a kilojoule.
  5. What is a kilowatt hour? What units are used?
    The amount of energy transferred in one hour. kWh.
  6. How is the amount of energy used by a customer measured?
    The amount of electrical energy used by a customer is measured by an electrical meter.
  7. What is the equation for calculating the cost of electricity?
    The cost of electricity is equal to number of units x cost per unit.
  8. What is the rough cost of an electrical unit?
    The cost of an electrical unit is around 15p. The cost of Gas is around 4p per kWh, which is why it is preferred for heating applications.
