Real World Examples Why do people care about this problem (system)? How is it used in everyday life? How the system works: Key words How each piece in the system works together Energy conversions What research has already been done about your part of the system? Based on other research, what do people think will happen if you change a part of the system? Example: How does a wind turbine work? How is the energy produced converted to different forms? Example: If the size of a blade on a wind turbine changes, how does that change the amount of energy produced? Example: How and why do people in the world today rely on wind power generated from wind turbines? Other renewable energy sources?
