Level Expectations:
Earth and Space Systems, Grade 5 (Conservation of Energy and Resources)

Energy sources are either renewable or non-renewable.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed.

Choices about using energy and resources have both immediate and long-term impacts.

Conservation (reducing our use of energy and resources) is one way of reducing the impacts of using energy and resources.

1. analyse the immediate and long-term effects of energy and resources use on society and the environment, and evaluate options for conserving energy and resources;
2. investigate energy transformation and conservation;
3. demonstrate an understanding of the various forms and sources of energy and the ways in which energy can be transformed and conserved.
