Energy and environment

Introduction

Next part of the project will be to investigate the energy and environment situation in Germany and Sweden. About four students from Kristinehamn cooperate with about two students in Essen and together they investigate their theme in Germany and Sweden. The Swedish students write about the Swedish situation and the German students write about the German situation. At the end energy group make an own presentation which describe both the German and Swedish situation, i.e. every group have to cooperate about the presentation. We have total 12 groups and theme. For practical reasons in Kristinehamn, 4-5 students from Presterudsgymnasiet (5*4+5) respectively 3-4 students from Brogårdsgymnasiet (4*4+2*3) cooperate with two students in Essen (25 students). The groups work together via mail and, if they want, meets via Skype and web cam. The work is started with an “energy interview” of each other in the group about how they live in Germany and Sweden.

Themes of investigation

Here are the twelve themes with the students presentations linked:

  1. Electric production (TWh) by nuclear energy. Here!
  2. Electric production by water energy. Here!
  3. Electric production by wind energy. Here!
  4. Electric production by water waves and tidal power. Here!
  5. Energy production by sun – sun panels (heat) and sun cells (electricity). Here!
  6. Energy production (not transports) by fossil energy (coal, oil, nature gas etc). Also about storage of CO2 in ground. Here!
  7. Energy production by bio energy (bio fuel, bio gas, wood etc)
  8. Waste management (recycling, energy recovery etc). Here!
  9. Energy consumption (broken down by different types of energy, types of consumption (transport, living, industry), developing during last 20 year, per person etc. Transport is broken down in road, train, air and water. Here!
  10. Food production and consumption, use of fertilizer, meat consumption, export, production per hectare, environment consequences of intensive agriculture. Here! 
  11. Production of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, what is the main source, what do Germany and Sweden do to decrease and what do EU?
  12. Transportation on road and railroad – people and goods, developing during last 20 year, what happen in future – new engines, hybrids and batteries?

Groups

Here is a link to the twelve groups. You will find the emails to the students on the Links side.

Presentations

The presentation – by PowerPoint on our website like the first part of our project, and together in assembly hall during the students visit in Essen or Kristinehamn. Maybe on both places in front of other students. The presentations will be linked to this document.

Deadlines

The project will start v 46 (10/11) and be finish v 51 and will be finished before Christmas vacation. The complete PowerPoint presentations have to be mail to anders.andersson@kristinehamn.se latest 17/12.
