A. Learning Objective
1. Through discussion students will analyze and evaluate the economic and environmental
impacts of green energy technologies.
2. Through discussion students will develop informed perspectives and make informed
decisions regarding the implementation of green energy technologies.
B. Material/Content
Green energy refers to energy derived from natural resources that are constantly
replenished. Unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), which take millions of years to form,
green energy sources can be used sustainably with minimal environmental impact.
1) Benefits of Green Energy:
Environmental:
● Reduces greenhouse gas emissions, combating climate change.
● Improves air and water quality by minimizing pollution from traditional power plants.
● Lessens dependence on extractive practices associated with fossil fuels.
Economic:
● Creates jobs in the green energy sector (manufacturing, installation, maintenance).
● Reduces reliance on imported fossil fuels, boosting energy independence.
● Provides stable and predictable energy costs in the long run.
2) Examples of Green Energy Sources:
● Solar Energy: Capturing sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate electricity.
Applications: Rooftop solar panels, large-scale solar farms.
● Wind Energy: Utilizing wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of moving air into
electricity.
Applications: Wind farms on land and offshore.
● Hydropower: Harnessing the power of moving water (rivers, tides) to generate
electricity through dams or turbines.
Applications: Hydroelectric dams, tidal energy projects.
● Geothermal Energy: Utilizing heat from the Earth's core to generate electricity or for
direct heating applications.
Applications: Geothermal power plants, ground-source heat pumps.
● Biomass Energy: Converting organic matter (wood, crops, waste) into electricity, heat,
or transportation fuels.
Applications: Biogas plants, wood pellet boilers, biofuels.
● Ocean Energy: Capturing the power of waves, tides, or ocean currents to generate
electricity.
Applications: Wave energy converters, tidal turbines.
3) Challenges of Green Energy:
● Intermittency: Some renewable sources, like solar and wind, are not constantly
available and require energy storage solutions.
● Cost: While costs are decreasing, upfront installation costs for some renewable energy
technologies can be higher than traditional sources.
● Efficiency: While constantly improving, some renewable sources may have lower
energy conversion efficiency compared to fossil fuels.
● Infrastructure: Building a robust transmission grid to integrate and distribute renewable
energy sources efficiently can be a challenge.
4) The Future of Green Energy:
Technological advancements are constantly improving the efficiency and affordability
of green energy solutions. Energy storage solutions like batteries are becoming more effective,
and research into new renewable sources like o ean energy is ongoing. As concerns about
 climate change continue to grow, green energy is expected to play an increasingly important
role in the global energy mix.

3. Teaching Model : 5E Instructional Model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate,
Evaluate)

D. Instructional Step

Step 5E Learning Procedure Time

Step allocation

Introduction ● Teacher greets student 2 mins

● Teacher and student praying

together.
● Teacher checks the attendance list
of students.

● Teacher delivering learning

objectives that students will achieve

Core Engage ● Begin the lesson by asking 5 mins

students to share what they know
about green energy technologies.
● Write their responses on the chart
paper or whiteboard.
● Show students some visual
examples of green energy
technologies (e.g., solar panels,
wind turbines) and ask them to
identify each one.
● Discuss with students why these
technologies are considered
"green" and how they differ from
 traditional energy sources (e.g.,
fossil fuels).

Explore ● Grouping students into 4 groups 10 mins

● Provide each group with a set of

pictures or descriptions of
different green energy
technologies.
● Ask students to examine each
technology and discuss its
potential economic and
environmental impacts.
● Encourage students to consider
factors such as cost, availability,
job creation, pollution reduction,
and long-term sustainability.
● Have each group present their
findings to the class, explaining
their reasoning and supporting
their arguments with evidence.

Explain ● Representative of group students 8 mins

give a brief explanation of the
result they answered
● Teachers clarify students' answers
and let students know the correct
answer.

Elabora ● Teachers Assess student 10 mins

ted understanding by posing
questions such as:
How might the economic
impacts of green energy
 technologies differ in
different countries or
regions?
What are some potential
challenges or limitations
of implementing green
energy technologies?
How can individuals
contribute to the adoption
of green energy
technologies in their daily
lives?

Closing Evaluat ● The teacher guides students to 5 mins

e make a conclusion for what we
learned, representing one group of
the result of discussion.
● Teacher give information for
students about the assignment
● Teachers ask students how they
feel after learning this topic.
● Teacher closes this meeting by
praying together.
