Outcomes

These are the Nova Scotia curriculum outcomes for the Science 9 Electricity Unit you will meet by completing this project.

· describe the transfer and conversion of energy from a generating station to the home (308-20)

· evaluate evidence and sources of information when conducting research on electrical energy production and its impact on the environment (210-8)

· select recent data while conducting research on the environmental problems associated with various types of electrical energy production (113-6, 210-8)

· propose a course of action that reduces the consumption of electrical energy (113-9, 113-13)

· give examples of the development of alternative sources of energy (such as wind generators and solar energy) that are a result of cost and the availability and properties of materials (109-6)
