Stage 4: Contemporary Issues

Summary: Science and technology contribute to finding solutions to a range of contemporary issues; these solutions may impact on other areas of society and involve ethical considerations.


Energy Conversion

“identify that most energy conversions are inefficient and lead to the production of heat energy, eg in light bulbs”

“research ways in which scientific knowledge and technological developments have led to finding a solution to a contemporary issue, eg improvements in devices to increase the efficiency of energy transfers or conversions”

“discuss the implications for society and the environment of some solutions to increase the efficiency of energy conversions by reducing the production of heat energy”
