Why this why now
Pupils can build on their previous knowledge of global economic geography and the study of urbanisation to develop a better understanding of patterns and inequalities in global energy production and consumption. The placement of this unit towards the end of Year 11 reflects the high-level concepts that underpin this unit
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils understand the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy
- Pupils can describe patterns and interpret maps, diagrams and graphs
- Pupils can use numerical and statistical skills to describe and interpret graphs
- Pupils understand the physical and human factors affecting energy extraction/production.
- Pupils have locational knowledge of the world's continents, regions and countries
- Pupils understand the concept of ecological sensitivity
- Pupils understand the principles of energy conservation and energy efficiency
- Pupils understand the concept of sustainability in the context of energy resources.
