IND5-5 selects, interprets and applies a range of suitable communication techniques in the
development, planning, production and presentation of ideas and projects
IND5-6 identifies and participates in collaborative work practices in the learning environment
IND5-9 describes, analyses and uses a range of current, new and emerging technologies
and their various applications
IND5-10 describes, analyses and evaluates the impact of technology on society, the
environment and cultural issues locally and globally

Task Description
During this unit students will engage in the study of alternative energy sources, their
characteristics, applications and the impact on society and the environment.

Working in pairs, students will be allocated an alternative energy technology. You will be
required to research this technology and produce an informational video which examines
several aspects of the technology and its applications around the world.

The topics covered in this video are:

 Overview of the alternative energy (What is it?) [1 Minutes]
 Explanation of the technical workings of the technology [2 Minutes]
 How the technology has been constructed and what materials are used [1 Minutes]
 Current application around the world [1 Minutes]
 Positive environmental impacts of the technology & benefits over coal power [2
 Minutes]
 Negative environmental impacts of the technology [1 Minutes]
 Limitations to implementing the technology here in Australia [1 Minutes]
 Future potential of the technology [1 Minutes]

The timeframes indicated are a guide only. However, the video should be within 10% of the
10 minute timeframe.

 Each section covered in the video must have a transition slide with the title.
 You may use graphics and videos from third-party sources however you will be
required to record all audio (you cannot use any third-party audio) and include all
videos used in a reference list.

 Your video will be played to the class and at the conclusion of the video you will be
required to field questions from the class. You must have a deep enough
understanding of the technology to accurately answer all questions (this will be
assessed).

 You will be required to upload your video file onto YouTube as an ‘Unlisted’ video
and share the URL link with your teacher via Seqta submissions in a word document
including group names.

Context for the Task

In this unit students will learn about the engineering of alternative energy sources
technologies, their properties and the associated materials and applications.

Task Rubric

You will be assessed on your ability to:

 Produce an informative and engaging video presentation on your chosen

alternative energy source.

 Answer questions from classmates at the conclusion of your presentation, which

demonstrates an understanding of your research.

 Work collaboratively in the development of a final project.

To undertake this task, you need to:

 Participate in all class discussions

 Attend all classes.

 Download and follow tutorials on how to use video editing software.
