    SUBJECT and GRADE Consumer Studies Grade 12


    TERM 3 CAPS Term 4, Week 1-2; TAPs 2020 Term 3, Week 8
    TOPIC  The Consumer: Sustainable consumption of electricity
     The Consumer: Sustainable consumption of water

    AIMS OF LESSON /  Sustainable consumption refers to the way in which humans use their resources to meet their needs while ensuring that the future
    INTRODUCTION generations will also be able to meet their needs. Electricity is the main energy source used in households. South Africa is
    classified as a water-stressed country and our limited water resources are being further diminished through e g climate change
    and pollution. Sustainable consumption of electricity and water is essential to preserve this valuable resource.

    ASSESSMENT Activities you can complete/do in your textbooks.
    CONSOLIDATION The following content is to be consolidated in the learners' workbooks through written work.
    Directorate: Curriculum FET

     Comparison of the main sources for the supply of electricity, for example. Renewable vs. non-renewable sources
     Ways/suggestions to responsibly use electricity/saving electricity
     Costs, advantages and disadvantages of the use of gas
     Provision of water
     Causes and prevention of water pollution
     Responsible use of water

    Activities/assessment learners can complete/do in their textbooks (variety of questions at different cognitive levels): Complete the
    following activity included:
    Sustainable use of electricity and water.

    VALUES  Responsible use of electricity can curb the rising cost of energy. The production of electricity from fossil fuels pollutes the
    atmosphere and causes the greenhouse effect and global warming. This should be avoided. South Africa receives only about half
    of the earth's average rainfall and is classified as a water-poor country. The average suburban household can reduce its water
    consumption by 30-40% without suffering any inconvenience.
