Quick student answer
How do you use evidence to justify a choice of energy resource for a particular context in exam questions?
Direct answer
In Physics, this page helps you answer questions about evidence to justify a choice of energy resource for a particular context within National and global energy resources. Focus on the key process, correct scientific terms, and how the idea links to exam-style questions. Key terms to check are evidence and justify.
Key terms
- evidence: Information or data used to support a claim or decision regarding energy resources.
- justify: To provide valid reasons or arguments in support of a choice of energy resource.
Common trap
Misinterpreting ‘evidence’ as any data: Explain that evidence must be directly relevant to the context, clearly linked to the energy resource being considered, and must support the justification being made. Encourage students to identify the specific data points that relate to the resource’s performance, cost, or environmental impact and to explain how those data points lead to their conclusion.
