Sustainable energy for our lifes

Sustainable Development Goals: Sustainable energy

Some years ago, the United Nations decided we need to work together in this world if we want to achieve big things. So they purposed to the world the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. They are different actions and staments to be achieved at the year 2030. These 17 goals look for a better world in different aspects. Have you ever heard about them? Do you want to learn a bit more?  There is one of them which deals with energy and sustainability Do you know which one it is?

Let's watch the following videos and afterwards we can create a big word cloud with the main words they suggested to the class. By learning this way we can inspired new ideas one to each other. 

Our teacher or we can use the following tool to create the Cloud of words. WordArt

Thinking about sources of energy

When we talk about sources of energy we discovered there are two kinds of sources of energy: Renewable and non-renewable sources. In this task we want to choose one source of each group and we are going to do a thinking strategy called Compare and Contrast.

Let's use this graphic organizer: Thinking routine Compare and Contrast  (download in editable odt formatdownload in pdf).

What do you think is the best source of energy in terms of sustainbility of the Earth?

What can I do to be more sustainable?

By this moment you have reflexed and learnt we should be aware about how to be more sustainable in order to take care of our world. Sometimes it could be not really easy to it, but we need to try. 

In this task we are asked to create a short video in which we explain three actions we can do in our daily lifes to be more sustainable with energy uses.

  • STEP 1: Think about three possible actions to be more sustainable (for example, use our bike to go to school).
  • STEP 2: Write down the actions using can: If you want to be more sustainable, you can........ (ride your bike to school).
  • STEP 3: Write down the script of your video:
    • Hello my name is..................... Do you want to be more sustainable to take care of the Earth?
    • If you want to be more sustainable, you can........
    • If you want to be more sustainable, you can........
    • f you want to be more sustainable, you can........
    • Let's try it will be worthy. Thanks for watching. 
  • STEP 4: Prepare everything for recording. Which materials will we need to record the situations we will explain in the video?
  • STEP 5: Record the video with the help of our mate. 

TIPS FOR RECORDING: There are lots of tools for recording, just in case we need any help we can use use Flipgrid.

Thinking about my learning

It is time to reflect about our learning today. Remind that everyday at the end of each lesson we will write on your Learning Diary asking the following questions:

  • Date
  • What have I done?
  • What problems did I have? How did I solve these problems?
  • What have I learn?
  • How can I improve my learning for the next lesson?
  • Do I want to learn a bit more about something?

Our teacher will check it and give us some feedback to help our improvements

There is an special document to reflex about all the process of learning we have done along this project. With the following document we will be able to think about what we have done and how we will use it for.
