Predictions: ESL Guide 6
This program aims to initiate conversations about predictions using appropriate lexis, sentence structure and grammar points. What is a prediction? In which situations do we naturally make predictions in our every day lives? Can we be certain about a prediction coming into fruition? How certain can we be? What words and phrases can we use to express our predictions fluently? Particular emphasis will be placed on situations that are relevant to students. Students will also look at how to use topic sentences and supporting sentences as they look at a time capsule.

Email Etiquette
There is little doubt that email is an extremely useful innovation that has changed, and continues to change, the way we communicate. However, the fact that email is different to both voice and paper based communications can be a source of frustration for many people. This up to date program gives viewers an understanding of the conventions that have been developed by email users over the years to facilitate effective communication. In addition, the program exposes many of the myths that exist regarding such issues as email privacy, and warns of possible dangers when using email. The words ‘Spamming’ and ‘Flaming’ may not make sense to many people, but chances are they’ve come across examples of this type of behavior in their email usage. The animated ‘cyber-postman’, who features throughout the program, has seen every example of bad email usage you could imagine. With his assistance we provide a comprehensive introduction to the etiquette of using email.

Energy Conservation
Renewable energy offers a long term solution to the problems caused by our use of fossil fuels, but if we want to make an immediate impact, the best place to start is energy conservation. Developed countries like Australia have relied on cheap energy to maintain high living standards, but this has produced a culture of wastefulness and inefficiency. This program takes the audience on a tour of an energy efficient house to show how the average home can cut energy use. And to make sure the audience identifies with the subject, we also visit an average household and an average high school, to see what they’ve done to conserve energy. Once people are educated about the way we use energy, they realize how easy it is to make the small changes that are needed to cut our energy use. This program shows that this results in big savings on our energy bills and makes a significant contribution to the health of our planet.

Energy Rules!: The Conservation of Energy and Momentum
Underpinning the whole of physics are the twin laws of conservation of energy and momentum. This program examines the many forms of energy, momentum and how they are related. The nature of action reaction is demonstrated by two students on skateboards pushing each other apart. The idea of a “closed system” is investigated with the example of sprinters pushing off starting blocks and collision between cars and stationary fixed walls. Students are taken through appropriate calculations and introduced to the various concepts relating to the conservation of energy and momentum.
