      TEKS 4.11B: Role of Energy Resources and Conservation

      • Energy Resource Management 4.11B

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can explain how energy resources are conserved, disposed of, and recycled.

        Focuses On:

        • How we can conserve, dispose, and recycle energy resources

        Builds On:

        3.11B:

        explain why the conservation of natural resources is important

        3.11C:

        identify ways to conserve natural resources through reducing, reusing, or recycling

        Next Level:

        5.11A:

        design and explain solutions such as conservation, recycling, or proper disposal to minimize environmental impact of the use of natural resources

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of the critical role of energy resources in modern life and the importance of their conservation, disposal, and recycling.

        The lesson begins with a review of previously studied energy sources, including their uses and methods for conservation. It then explores the potential for the disposal and recycling of these resources where applicable.

        This foundational knowledge prepares students for standard 5.11A, in which they will be tasked with designing solutions to address the environmental impacts of using natural and energy resources.
