This resource contains an interactive table and map that shows the share of primary energy from low-carbon sources.
Teaching Tips
Positives
Beautiful interactive media. It is cool to examine the data by continents and by countries.
Additional Prerequisites
Learners need to be familiar with the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy.
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
Students can get insights on tidal and wave energy and other sources of energy. Datasets were normalized based on a conversion factor of 277.778. This resource is recommended for teaching.
