Learning goals - expected leaning outcomes Body of knowledge (National curriculum)

Students should be able to: - Describe what is energy and types of

energy sources. - Research and evaluate different methods

of producing electricity. - Identify the advantages and

disadvantages of various methods of producing electricity.
