A simple KS2/KS3 Geography enquiry task looking at how electricity is generated in different countries around the world. Pupils use the interactive Electricity Maps website to compare renewable and carbon-free energy across a range of contrasting countries, identifying how green their energy production is, giving them a carbon free rating my using the colour scale, and then investigating how the electricity is made. Countries included on the sheet to give a good variety of results: UK, Iceland, China, Finland, Botswana The task can then be developed further by allowing pupils to investigate their own chosen countries, explore how energy is traded and consider the geographical reasons why some places can rely more heavily on renewables such as geothermal, hydroelectric, wind or solar power. A useful activity for topics on climate change, energy, sustainability or development.
