  • Learners need be familiar with the various sources of electricity and the economic concept of "per capita."
  • Educator would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.

Differentiation

  • There are other related interactive maps for measuring similar parameters.
  • Can be used to create awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Scientist Notes

The resource assesses the relative electricity consumption by sources from different countries. Students can explore to get knowledge on relative changes in electricity consumption by countries from these renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Data output and method used are valid and suitable for teaching.
