Section
A Exploring current practice
In this section, you will review and evaluate how
energy is currently taught throughout your existing science curriculum,
and identify particular areas that you would like to address. In considering
how you might introduce new ideas into the curriculum, it is clearly important
to consider what is already there.
It may be possible simply to add a new approach
to existing approaches, though it may be, for example, that an existing
approach needs to be modified to allow a new approach to be incorporated.
Understanding the nature of existing approaches will help to put into perspective
the new ideas about energy that will be introduced in later activities.
The new approaches may or may not address the problems that you identify,
but by defining your own agenda, it will help to put the new ideas in perspective.
