Energy sources and sustainability By contributing to an investigation on different ways of meeting society’s energy needs, I can express an informed view on the risks and benefits of different energy sources, including those produced from plants. SCN 4-04a Investigates and discusses the risks and benefits of different energy sources including at least one energy source derived from plants. Through investigation, I can explain the formation and use of fossil and contribute to discussions on the responsible use and conservation of finite resources. SCN 4-04b Describes the formation of fossil fuels from the decayed and fossilised remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Explains that fossil fuels are a finite resource. Discusses, through research, the use for and need to conserve supplies of fossil fuels.
