PRESERVING OUR WORLD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS THROUGH CLEAN ENERGY - A CALL TO ACTION

TEACHER RESPONSIBLE

Mr. Ogbonna Austine Uchenna and Mr. Ebenezer Christian Wealth

SUBJECT AREAS

Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Science and Technology

NUMBER OF PUPIL IN THIS ACTIVITY BY AGE RANGE

10 – 11, 11 – 12 and 12 – 13

This activity is centred on world preservation through clean energy usage. This led to the ignition of our pupil’s research and enquiry skills thriving on the application of scientific principles, curating in the idea to build a solar powered warmer and oven. Leveraging their understanding of several physics, chemistry, and mathematics and economics concept. The solar oven work using solar radiation from the sun.

Making a solar oven as an alternative to electrical oven that burn gas is based meeting the sustainable development goal SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) as the oven is both affordable and small it doesn’t acquire burning any gas, it is also clean. The component of the solar oven includes a plane mirror working on the law of reflection in physics by reflecting radiant light incident on the mirror. A glass cover working on the principle of refraction traps the heat incident and reflected by the mirror in the oven.

The mathematical concept of measurement and inclination angle played a pivotal role in the making of the box and adjuster respectively. Styrofoam and additives made from chemical compounds reacted as pupils fixed them in the light weight wood. Also notably amongst all the activity was the collaboration with the Waste recycling ISA activity 6 to obtain re-useable waste materials such as woods, Styrofoam, glass and mirror piece which are needed in the construction of the solar oven.

AIMS (WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF THE ACTIVITY?)

Utilization of solar radiation being a great store of renewable and clean
Designing an oven that is environmentally friendly and economically affordable for those in rural communities and internally displaced persons where electricity supply is limited or non-existent.
Ultimately ensuring our world is preserved for the future generation next via production of equipment with little or no greenhouse gas emission.

OUTCOMES (WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF THE ACTIVITY?)

The production of a solar powered
Affordable and environmentally friendly solar oven with no greenhouse
A preserved world

EVALUATION EVIDENCE

The success of this activity was deduced from the experimental usage of the oven during a sunny day to ensure food inserted into the oven was warmed through the heat trapped inside the solar oven. The temperature of the food was not only increased but preserved.

What impact has this activity had on the pupils involved (at your school or in your local community)?

This activity has exposed the pupils to some applications of science like the principle of the plane mirror, heat conservation and energy sources (the solar energy) and their impact.

Comment on the impact this activity has had on you and any other staff involved (at your school or other schools).

This activity has given me the opportunity to have better practical understanding of the impact of using clean energy on the environment.

Comment on the impact this activity has had on the school generally.

This activity has generally enlighten the school on the need to cut down the use of non-clean energy which cause health risk to lives and consider clean energy

Please make any suggestions for improvement (e.g. What was the most effective part of this activity for you and why? What was the least effective and why?)

The most effective part of the activity was the construction, this part involves handling some items that could cause injury and cause injury and every forms of safety were applied, we had no injury. Use of sun glasses to prevent direct sun’s reflection and other safety mechanisms.

Any other comments?

It was indeed a great project built with the aim of ensuring our world is preserved for future generations through the reduction of emission of greenhouse gases, resulting in a safe environment as we increase usage of equipment built to use clean energy sources.

Please comment on the impact this activity has had on the pupils involved.

This activity fostered curiosity and creativity in the students. It taught them practical skills and reinforcing learning through experience by exploring suitable solutions to preserving our world through clean energy like solar energy, students developed a deeper understanding of environmental issues and the importance of renewable resources.

Please comment on the impact this activity has had on you.

This activity inspired me to become very environmentally conscious. Witnessing the tangible results of the efforts of the students instilled a sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue integrating experiential learning into the curriculum.

Please comment on the impact this activity has had on the school generally.

Engaging students in activities like this not only fostered hand-on learning but it also instilled environmental awareness and problem solving skills. It sparked curiosity about renewable energy and sustainability in the minds of students and staff. This can also lead to a broader discussion and initiative within the school community.

If you have any suggestions for how to improve this activity, please comment here.

The project embarked on in this activity (making a solar oven) was a very good idea and the student completed it with much creativity and brilliance. However, for future projects they could experiment with different designs, experimenting various reflective surfaces.

Any other comments?

Engaging students in these kind of activity not only teaches them about renewable energy and sustainability but also fosters critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills. It was a great experience being part of this activity.

Please comment on the impact this activity has had on your child and in your local community.

This activity (project) had a positive and constructive impact on my daughter. She was the course of the activity creative in her thinking, always seeking ideas by asking science based questions. It indeed opened her mind to new possibilities and also deepened her knowledge of scientific concept and how they are applied in the real world.
