Resources
Red and Amber Page 36
Green Page 46
Recap coal burning power station and a wind farm are before: use Information cards
Red and Amber Some people feel very strongly about the pollution caused by coal power stations, and that other people do not like wind farms because they think they spoil the landscape. Other people support coal power stations because they produce cheap power, while others like wind power because it is clean.
express your own views on the sheet and circled a face in each case, count up the 'votes’ and discuss why the children expressed particular views.
EXTENSION
In your group you could complete a poll/survey to find the class’s favourite renewable. You could plot the data on a graph or in columns, using smiley faces.

Understand tidal and wave energy and how it works
Key Words
Tidal energy, tidal barrage, dam, turbines, pressure, force, gravity, renewable, wave machine, acetate,
Resources
TIDAL = Two 2-litre plastic drinks bottles, strong cloth tape, a pair of sharp compasses
WAVE = Plastic tubes or wooden dowelling, OHT, acetate, elastic bands, plasticine, scissors
Recap what students can remember from lesson 2 about what they found out about Tidal and Wave Power. If you are struggling to remember look at the information pages in your energy project book.
Teacher will demonstrate how the tidal and wave power models work.
TIDAL
The greater mass (or weight) of water in the full bottle exerts a greater downward force (due to gravity) and so there is increased pressure on the water, pushing it out of the small hole with more force.
Red Draw a diagram of the two demonstrations that you saw.
Amber Draw a diagram of the two demonstrations that you saw and label it
Green Draw a diagram of the two demonstrations that you saw and try to explain how each model works, (you may need help from your group teacher.)

To you understand what non-renewable energy is, and become aware of its main limitations.
Key Words Renewable energy, non-renewable energy, power station, electricity, coal, pollution
Begin by discussing what electricity is used for and why it is so important.
Electricity has to be made and can be made in lots of different ways; and most of the UK’s electricity is supplied by power stations, and that these are like factories that burn fuel (coal, oil and gas).
RED Read through with the teacher in your group the Information card Page 23
Amber Read independently the information on Page 23
GREEN can use the following Website to find out about Fossil Fuels. Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuel power stations use the fuel to heat water to make steam, like a giant kettle, and that the steam turns a big machine called a generator. The generator makes electricity as it spins very fast.
RED and AMBER Complete the worksheet on page 31 of your booklet.
Green Answer the following questions in full sentences.
1. What things need Electricity?
2. List fossil Fuels
3. Where does coal, oil and gas come from, and how much is used up each day?
4. What will happen to stocks of fossil fuels one day one day?
5. What are the 2 types of energy produced when we burn fossil fuels?
EXTENSION TASK (FOR ALL GROUPS)
Pupils can create a PowerPoint about all the different things that we use that need electricity.
