Let's create continuous conversations about climate change education: Spreading the Sediment of Science!
Energy Intensity
Provided by: Our World in Data |Published on: July 20, 2021
Graphs/Tables Grades 9-12
Synopsis
- This resource includes an interactive chart and map that compares the energy intensity of different countries.
- Energy intensity is measured as primary energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product and it is measured in kilowatt-hours.
- The map and line graph can be interacted with to compare as many countries as desired.
Subjects: Physics, Economics, Geography, Mathematics
Authors: Hannah Ritchie, Max Roser
Region: Global
Languages: English
Teaching Materials
Positives
- The interactive provides three ways for students to explore data (line graph, map, and table).
- Students may choose to view datasets for various geographic locations and time periods.
- Related research and data are linked.
- The site explains how the data was collected.
Additional Prerequisites
- Educators would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.
- Background on energy production may be helpful
Differentiation
- Can be used as a practical application of the uses of line graphs learned in Statistics and Mathematics.
- Students learning about energy generation and measurement in Physics may find this a practical application of metrics learned.
