Re­se­arch and Pre­pa­ra­ti­on (20 mi­nu­tes)

Your group will be as­si­gned one type of re­ne­wa­ble en­er­gy: Solar, Wind, Hy­dro­pow­er, or Geo­ther­mal.

Use the pro­vi­ded ma­te­ri­als or your de­vices to re­se­arch your as­si­gned en­er­gy type.

Focus on fin­ding at least three main ad­van­ta­ges of your en­er­gy source.

Pre­pa­re a short pre­sen­ta­ti­on about your en­er­gy type.

En­er­gy Fair (15 Mi­nu­tes)

Set up a 'sta­ti­on' for your en­er­gy type in the class­room.

Two group mem­bers stay at your sta­ti­on to pre­sent.

The other two mem­bers visit other sta­ti­ons to learn about dif­fe­rent en­er­gy types.

Switch roles after a few mi­nu­tes so ever­y­o­ne pres­ents and vi­sits.

3. De­ba­te (10 Mi­nu­tes)

Re­turn to your groups and pre­pa­re to de­fend your en­er­gy type as the best op­ti­on.

We will have a struc­tu­red de­ba­te where each group pres­ents ar­gu­ments and re­sponds to others.

Re­flec­tion (5 mi­nu­tes)

As a class, we will dis­cuss what we lear­ned about re­ne­wa­ble en­er­gy.

You will vote on the most con­vin­cing ar­gu­ments pre­sen­ted.
