This worksheet set is designed for Stage 4 Technology Engineering and Science students (Years 7-8/KS3). It provides a structured, engaging task that explores one of the world’s most critical renewable technologies: wind energy.
The Main Task: Wind Energy Research Challenge
Students will undertake research to develop a balanced understanding of wind power using internet searches, students will research and document the significant positives (advantages) and negatives (disadvantages) of large-scale wind energy generation. This fosters critical thinking about sustainability and technological trade-offs (e.g., zero emissions vs. intermittency and visual impact).
