DT Design and Technology

Here is the current list of projects for the year of Form 5

· Objective s:  Recognize that different forms of energy sources exist, namely, fossil fuels, nuclear, solar, water power.

· Understand how different sources and forms of energy can be stored, converted and transmitted to produce a work capability and to improve the quality of life.

· Understand the inefficiencies of energy conversion methods, e.g. ‘losses' into by-products such as heat, light and sound.

· Understand the difference between the finite and almost finite nature of energy sources and how through design, all energy sources can be conserved.

Use energy sources effectively and efficiently
