This video shows the use of mechanical toys to model visible energy transformations. Students observe multiple energy changes and identify useful and wasted energy forms through guided questioning. This evidence supports Deep Understanding by demonstrating students’ ability to explain relationships between different energy forms and justify which outputs are useful versus wasted, rather than simply identifying energy types.
Video Snippet: Demonstration of students Deep understanding in action while students playing an interactive game and answering questions
The snippet shows students engaging in a real-world problem-based task where they selected appliances within a fixed budget to optimise energy efficiency. This evidence supports Deep Understanding by showing students applying efficiency principles, comparing alternatives, justifying trade-offs and explaining how their choices reduced wasted energy while increasing useful output.
