UWC renewable energy proposal
- 1. Renewable Energy Technology Proposal for a new subject for teaching at UWC
- 4. The subject will use renewable energy technology as a vehicle to teach useful things
- 5. It contains elements of social (group 3) and natural (group 4) sciences
- 7. Sustainability at UWC UWC was founded to address the threat of conflicts between nations Today, unsustainable and inequitable use of natural resources is as serious a threat However, sustainability as UWC is often “tagged on”
- 8. Sustainability at UWC One way of introducing the topic at UWC is to have modules related to sustainability “tagged on” to existing IB subjects e.g. teaching renewable energy as a module in physics, or sustainability as part of design and technology
- 9. IB Physics IB Design & Technology Renewable Energy Module Sustainability Module
- 10. Sustainability at UWC Our proposal is to teach elements of natural science (esp. physics), environmental science and social science (esp. economics) through the subject of Renewable Energy Technology Sustainable technology is at the core, not tagged on!
- 11. Inter-disciplinary thinking Practical application IB Renewable Energy Technology Sustainable technology Inter-UWC exchange General science
- 13. important core concepts from physics (plus some biology and chemistry)
- 17. CAS activities
- 18. Project Weeks
- 20. different technologies fit different UWCs
- 22. This is how we teach science today (IB Physics – as I remember it):
- 23. In the classroom – IB Physics today A mass of m = 5 kg is lifted up h = 20 m - By how much did the potential energy increase?
- 24. This is how we could teach it in Renewable Energy Technology:
- 25. A village in Nepal wants to use a stream with a flow rate of 5 l/s and a drop of 20 m to produce electricity.
- 30. Inter-UWC Exchange Imagine Atlantic College builds a wind turbine as a CAS activity, documents the activity (video, data logging etc.), and exchanges the material…
- 31. Inter-UWC Exchange … for similar material on Mahindra UWC’s biogas project
