Keeping London moving
Where does the energy come from to keep London moving? In this lesson, students represent simple energy transfers (Sankey Diagrams) relating to change in motion for different modes of transport and different types of fuel in London.
Using examples from London’s transport, students explain how an increase in aerodynamics corresponds to increased energy efficiency and reduced energy and fuel consumption and use a Sankey diagram to represent this.
Learning objectives:
- Students must be able to describe the different sources of energy for different modes of transport and discuss how waste energy can be reduced.
- They should be able to explain the importance of streamlined design to prevent wasted energy and improve energy efficiency
- Students could be able to calculate energy efficiency for different modes of transport. .
This resource is part of a full set of lessons looking at how forces and energy play a major role in London’ s transport network, which can be found here
