Energy Activity Sheet 4 Name:_______
Design a Poster
In the twentieth century, energy is much cheaper than it was centuries ago, and it is probably much cheaper than it will be in the future. Thousands to hundreds of years ago, people could only use their own power or, if they were very rich, the power of a horse or ox, or, in some cases, slaves. From the exercise in activity sheet 3, you know the approximate power of a human: imagine that the human is you.
Design a poster
It is now your task to design an educational poster to be displayed in the classroom. You will use PowerPoint to illustrate your work in activities sheets 1-3. Be as creative and bright as you want and use lots of appropriate clipart.
Poster must include
*Formula for energy, work, and power.
*Your group calculation for work, power, nutritional information panels.
*Calculations of work appliances and how many students it would take to run them.
*Appropriate pictures and symbols.
