Curriculum expectations

  • C1.1 — assess the short- and long-term impacts of electrical energy generation technologies in Canada on society and the environment, including impacts on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, and on climate change
  • C1.2 — assess choices that reduce personal use of electrical energy from both renewable and non-renewable sources, and advocate for the responsible use of electrical energy by the school community

Brief

This lesson asks you to assess the short- and long-term impacts of generating electrical energy in Canada on society and the environment, including impacts on First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities and on climate change, and to assess choices that reduce your own use of electrical energy and speak up for its responsible use in your school. The museum holds no record that serves these expectations yet, so this lesson offers no cards. 1

Whose view are you weighing?

For each choice, list who is affected and what each would say; then write which evidence would change your own assessment.
