Unit 6 – Global Warming – is comprised of 6 activities that have been informed by the ENERGE Energy Literacy Framework. A guide to the ENERGE Energy Literacy Framework can be found on the main page. This unit explores the following topics: the greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change, the global energy systems and the emission of green-house gases as a result of large-scale industrial and human activity. In activities 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 students mapping out their relationship with fossil fuels, analyse scientific data and form coherent arguments about global warming, climate change and the global energy crisis. In activities 6.1, 6.5 and 6.6 students reflect on the role of Governments and the global energy industry as agents and opponents of change. Students consider the interplay between components of global energy systems and consider the implications for the wider global community. Students will engage in self-reflected learning, systems thinking, innovation and creativity and through developing their data analysis design, critical thinking, communication and collaborative skills. Ultimately, students can better understand their role within the global energy system, explore avenues for collective action, explore ideas that link climate issues to social justice helping students to foster a greater sense of solidarity with people in their own community and on a global level. The activities in this unit are suitable for lower and upper second level students. The energy literacy outcomes, the associated skills & competencies addressed and how the activities link to the national curricula are outlined in tables 6.1-6.3. A summary and download link for each activity is provided below.
