Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Topic

Cost of Energy

Objectives

• Understand the concept of energy and its various forms.
• Identify and analyse the costs associated with different sources of energy.
• Evaluate the impact of energy consumption on the environment.
• Develop skills in calculating energy costs based on usage.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and screen
• Handouts with energy cost calculations
• Internet access for research (if needed)
• Graph paper for plotting energy costs
• Calculator

Grade/Age Group

Year 7

Subject

Science

Class Size

20 students

Length of Lesson

30 minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Science, specifically focusing on energy sources, efficiency, and the environmental implications of energy usage.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Energy	5	Introduce the topic of energy. Discuss what energy is, different forms, and everyday examples.
2	Exploring Energy Costs	10	Present information on various energy sources (e.g., fossil fuels, solar, wind) and their costs. Comparison discussion.
3	Impact on Environment	5	Discuss how different energy sources affect the environment. Encourage student opinions and examples.
4	Energy Cost Calculation	5	Distribute handouts with examples of energy use and costs. Guide students through calculations of their own energy use.
5	Wrap-Up Discussion	3	Summarise key points. Engage students with a few questions regarding their thoughts on energy use and costs.
6	Homework Assignment	2	Introduce homework: research a specific energy source and its costs; write a short report. Ensure understanding of the assignment.

Homework

Students will research a specific energy source (e.g., solar, wind, coal) and its associated costs and environmental impacts. They will write a short report (1-2 paragraphs) detailing their findings. The homework will be collected and checked without presenting in class.

Assessment

Formative assessment will occur through observation during discussions and the energy calculation activity to assess understanding. The homework will provide data for summative assessment based on content accuracy and depth of understanding.
