Students research: use metric units of energy to solve problems, including calories, kilocalories, joules and kilojoules, their abbreviations and how to the history of the measurement of calories and kilojoules and how they are convert between them measured the amount of energy expended in activities. use units of energy and mass to solve problems related to food Students record their food consumption for a particular day. Using the food labels on and nutrition, including calories packaging, students then calculate the number of calories/kilojoules consumed. Students record the number of steps they take during a typical school day or during a use units of energy to solve problems involving the amount of period of exercise. They determine the amount of energy consumed. energy expended in activities, for example kilojoules Students explore the effect of the Heart Foundation’s recommendation that adults walk at least 10 000 steps per day on the amount of energy consumed. Students could investigate the amount of energy consumed by a Year 7 student participating in the Rope for Heart’. ‘Jump use units of energy to solve problems involving the consumption Students explore, compare and solve problems based on the consumption of of electricity, for example kilowatt hours, and investigate household electricity such as: common appliances in terms of their energy consumption AAM interpret information about a household’s electricity usage, eg a household electricity bill rank common appliances and physical activities in terms of their energy consumption in watts calculate the cost of running different household appliances for various time periods, the power rating, usage time, and cost of power perform calculations and conversions involving units related to power, eg watt, watt-hour interpret the energy rating of appliances and compare running costs of different models of the same type of appliance calculate the amount of electricity that could be saved by using energy-efficient devices and adopting energy-efficient strategies calculate the running costs of various home appliances. Students use the internet to collect data in relation to worldwide electricity consumption.
