"Energy for Young Minds" is a section which features energy articles related to examination syllabuses, while featuring novel topics and general scientific knowledge on energy systems.
"Energy for Young Minds" is a column in the CEIS Update which was introduced in the publication to facilitate students preparing for the Energy Sections of the CXC Physics, Chemistry and Integrated Science syllabuses. The rationale for the Column was based on annual CXC reports which revealed weak areas in the answers of students sitting the examinations and why students are unable to obtain full marks. More recent issues identified included:
-
A need to develop the enquiry skills in the area of energy
-
Answers required greater detail on subjects - too superficial
-
Inability to arrange in correct sequence the forms of energy which they correctly identified
-
Difficulty in describing the disadvantages associated with the use of fossil fuels.
In addition, surveys are conducted from time to time among high school teachers and students to enquire what assistance is needed with the preparation of students sitting these examinations. The column offers students articles which according to CXC Examinations Council are topics which students sitting these examinations have difficulty with. This column is usually sponsored by private sector companies
throughout the region.
