Lesson 1 Methodology

• Focussed on learning energy principles and processes

• Emphasis on energy/power balance– Power demand = Power supply + Rate of use of energy stored

• Providing tools/framework for interpretation of information in lesson 2

• Delivered by powerpoint, class interaction, demonstrations

• Consolidated by structured worksheet as homework

• Equipment required: laptop, projector, lab equip
