Today the Grade 7 students spent time analyzing the various sources of energy that are utilized throughout Canada. They examined both renewable and non-renewable energy sources. They were also able to both estimate and calculate the amount of megawatts that each energy source produces.
The Great Canadian Electricity Giant Floor Map, codesigned in partnership with Electricity Human Resources Canada, highlights the diversity of energy sources in Canada and the complexity of energy production and transmission across the Canadian landscape. The Giant Floor Map also contains information about innovative careers in the electricity sector, from generation, transmission, and distribution, to energy efficiency, smart systems, manufacturing, and all levels of the supply chain (Canadian Geographic).
