3. Lesson 1 OP15 Define and give the units for energy. - also give examples of energy in everyday experience. OP18 Explain why the sun is considered our primary source of energy and how this is important in food production and energy supply. OP21-a Identify different forms of Energy
The Junior Certificate Science Syllabus contains the following learning outcomes for the topic Energy and Energy Conversions: OP15 Define and give the units for energy. OP16 Classify sources of energy as renewable or non-renewable. OP17 State the principle of conversion of energy. OP18 Explain why the sun is considered our primary source of energy and how this is important in food production and energy supply. OP19 List the advantages and disadvantages of different energy sources, including nuclear sources of energy, as part of the solution to national energy needs OP20 Identify different forms of energy and carry out simple experiments to show the following energy conversions: a. chemical energy to electrical energy to heat energy. b. electrical energy to magnetic energy to kinetic energy. c. light energy to electrical energy to kinetic energy. OP21 Give examples of energy conversion from everyday experience.

Above is the objectives for lesson 1 on the topic ‘Energy and Energy Conversion’ This Lesson will take up a full 40 minute class. Learning outcomes: Students will be able to define the units of energy Students will be able to point out where energy or ‘doing work’ can be observed everyday. Students will be able to identify and describe the different forms of energy Students will be able to explain why the sun is our most important source of energy Method: Question students on their prior knowledge of energy What is energy? Where they might see it? Or use it?

Above is a list of objectives for lesson 2 on ‘Energy and Energy conversions’ This class will take up a full forty minute class. Learning outcomes: Students will be able explain the meaning of renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. Students will be able to understand the importance of using renewable sources of energy. Students will be able to list the advantages of the different sources of energy. Students will be able to explain where most of our country’s energy comes from. Method: Students will be questioned on their learning from the previous lesson- forms of energy Students will be questioned on their prior knowledge of sources of energy.
Question students on their knowledge of the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy Using the broken and closed circle concept explain the difference Click on the different sources of energy to find out more information about each.

Above is a list of learning outcomes for lesson 3 on ‘Energy and Energy conversions’ This lesson will take a double class of 1hour and 20mins. Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to state the principle of conversion of energy. Students will be able to carry out experiment to show the conversion between different forms of energy. Students will be able to give examples of energy conversion from everyday experience. Method: Question students on their learning from the previous two lessons as this will be used and developed during this investigative lesson. Students will be asked to carry out experiments in groups after a teacher led demonstration.
