Block 3
project
Outcome: Know that the main source of energy can be traced back to the Sun.
Learning objectives:
1. Identify the sun and the main source of energy.
2. Demonstrate how the wind, wave, biomass and fossil fuels energy is traced back to the Sun.
Project:
The student should derive a model that shows how the given energy resource (wind, wave & biomass) is traced back to the Sun. The model should
explain how the Sun is considered the main source of energy on Earth. The model could be two- or three- dimensional.
It is an individual project.
Project’s due date is January 16th 2021 and the deadline is January 26th 2021.
Success criteria:
1. Identifying the Sun as the main source of energy and how other resources are traced back to the Sun.
2. Creating clear objects/ components: the objects are clear, well-crafted/ drawn. The object are colored and appropriate proportions were
perfectly considered.
3. Labelling: All the objects/ components of the model are labelled.
4. Each student (individually) can answer a quiz about the “The energy resources”.
