Energy resources lesson plans
Lesson 6 energy and food
Aim – Where does all our energy originate from?
5 minutes Starter Students have previously studied food chains. Ask them what normally starts any food chain? Why do we have to have a plant at the start? Where do plants get their energy from?
20 minutes Trace the food chain ending in a glass of milk back to its source – the sun. The energy in the foods we eat can be traced through a food chain with the Sun’s energy at the start of the chain.
Similarly, trace the energy of a moving car or bus back to the sun – fossil fuels were living organisms that transformed and stored the suns energy.
Students answer Q 1 and 2 p.107
30 minutes Use p 107 as stimulus material for a discussion on how we can use energy well.
Pupils may wish to present the points that arise in the form of display material or a debate.
National curriculum links: Sc4 5a/b/c energy resources
Grading:
Level 5 Describe the type of energy that an object has or is using
Level 6 Describe how energy is transferred from the Sun to other energy resources
