Energy and electricity
Ref:Learner nameStart date:Deadline:
Unit : 4
Scenario
We should all be concerned about the amount of energy we are using. Not only is energygetting more expensive but we are worried about the effect of pollution on our planet. In thisassignment you will investigate what happens to energy when it is transferred and about thedifferent ways of generating electricity .
Assessment evidence:UnitGrading criteria
