Course: CGC1D
Unit: Managing Canadas Resources and Industries
Over the course of our unit investigating how Canada manages our natural
resources, we have learned about different ways in which energy is produced
to meet the needs of our electricity based society.
We have seen how spinning magnets induce electrical currents in conductive
metals (such as copper) to create generators. The difficulty is providing
enough energy to get those magnets moving!
Part I: Research
Through information learned during this unit, as well as research found from
reliable (cited) sources, you will:
1) Choose a means of energy production used in Canada today (wind,
hydro, coal, nuclear, etc)
2) Explain the process of how these resources are used to create energy
3) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the energy production
that you chose with reference to sustainability, economic influence,
efficiency, etc.
