Nowadays the problem of energy generation has been in the center of attention; for centuries, our ancestors in order to provide themselves with enough energy have been using technologies, which can be no longer useful. Using renewable resources is in fact the best way to both protect the environment and generate enough energy for the whole world. In these terms, the topic of renewable energy is very important to be informed about.
THE CONCEPT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR THIRD GRADE STUDENTS
Children and youngsters are no doubt the future of our world. That is why it is of vital importance to inform pupils and students about the key issues of modern day life in order to let them find out how these issues can be resolved in the future. Renewable energy can be the leading technology of our future, which means that this concept is crucial for them.
Children are usually open-minded and friendly while playing games they really like; that makes the communicator feel free and use his strengths in order to communicate easily.
Children of the third grade, even though they have been in school for already three years, are still children and they are all willing to play games. The best way to draw student’s attention to the problem and underline some important facts is to organize and interactive meeting. The communicator should prepare some contests or some small games to interest children and at the same time, let them find out and remember some new and exciting facts. Posters, videos, toys, models, jokes and other requisite hold children’s attention and make the given information quite accessible to them. The media to use for them should be the TV, with a short fun video, which can talk about the issue and introduce the rules of the game they are to play. Moreover, they can be given a homework assignment connected with an online game they would be able to play at home and thus, the Internet would also be involved as a media.
THE CONCEPT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR GRAND/PARENT OR OTHER NON-EXPERT
Grown up people are the audience, which influences the modern life most of all. It is the reason why they should know about the technologies and processes of modern life more. Taking into the account that most of the people consuming energy are non-experts nowadays, the concept of renewable energy is really important to them.
Non-experts are easy to communicate to, when the facts are scientifically proved, but not hard to understand. From a non-experts standpoint, people with enough specific knowledge are viewed as experts. It means that the knowledge of the matter is the communicator’s strength.
Most of the people today are hard to impress. In these terms, renewable energy, a progressive invention, which will definitely influence their traditional way of life, should be shown in the most impressive and convincing way. The communicator can achieve the best effect by demonstrating the process of energy generation not on models or layouts. The excursion to the hydro station, dam or to the tidal power station, which will show the process of energy generation is the best way to impress by the image of already working structure. Adding important facts to the impressive visual image is the most relatable way to hold adults’ attention (anyway, it is more useful than applying to children). Thus, the TV should also be used as a media. However, unlike for children, a power point presentation is enough for adults. Moreover, it can be combined with some cut out articles from print media like newspapers and magazines to pass around to the adults.
THE CONCEPT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR PHYSICISTS
In the world of science, the concept of renewable energy is no longer a new invention. Still, there is also a lot of information, which is useful for all spheres of science but known by just a specific group working on it. That is why physicists of all spheres should operate with as much information about the concept of renewable information as possible.
It needs no evidence that scientists usually perceive the most important information during different official meetings and conferences. That is why the form of an official meeting is the most relatable way to hold especially scientists’ attention; non-experts or especially children are not able to perceive many formulas in the sphere they are not aware of.
Professional physicists when talking about important processes or projects are usually more open to the people, who are the professional too and who can operate with information easily. The strength is the proper knowledge of the matter, because scientists always ask questions; in case of the communicator not able to answer the question the information is not perceived.
Printed handouts with detailed charts and graphs should be passed around to everyone present. Most of these people will not be young kids and will appreciate the opportunity to closely look at the materials. Consequently, printed media is the way to go in this case.
