ATS2020 LD Macro level – Design and Technology Unit: Energy Lesson: Ways of producing electricity Class: B΄Gymnasium Visualised Learning Design – Macro level Tasks to develop these competences towards the learning outcomes - Introduction to energy. - Students’ individual My learning journal (initial knowledge – expected learning / goals). - Search and collect pictures online or from a digital library, indicating different methods of electricity production process (utilizing different energy sources). - Identifying (in groups) the energy sources used in different methods of producing electricity and report the advantages and disadvantages of each method. - Search and report how electricity is produced in Cyprus. Describe the process of the main method applied by Cyprus. Discuss advantages/disadvantages of this method. - ePortfolio development. - Completion of My learning journal. Learning goals - expected leaning outcomes Body of knowledge (National curriculum) Students should be able to: - Describe what is energy and types of energy sources. - Research and evaluate different methods of producing electricity. - Identify the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of producing electricity. - Analyze the process of electricity production in Cyprus (with the use of heavy fuel oil source of energy) and report advantages and disadvantages. Leaning outputs – through all stages (assessment) - A collection (files-pictures) of ways of producing electricity. - Discussion forums with students’ communication and collaboration on Identifying (in groups) the energy sources used in different methods of producing electricity. Advantages and disadvantages. - A classroom accepted advantages and disadvantages of different methods of producing electricity. - Group page (ePortfolio) with their findings on how electricity is produced in Cyprus (EAC), analysis of the main method applied by Cyprus. - Discussion forums with students’ peer-assessment and feedback on advantages /disadvantages of producing electricity with heavy fuel oil (used by EAC). - Individual page (ePortfolio) presenting the ways of producing electricity and their advantages/disadvantages. - Students’ individual My learning journal. Skills and competences necessary to reach the expected outcomes Targeted - Search, collect and share information (Information literacy skills). - Work with others on a common task (communication and collaboration skills). - Evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of different methods of producing electricity (autonomous learning skills). Emerging - Use digital technologies to present their work (digital skills). - Use discussion forums (communication and collaboration skills).
