What educators are saying
I used elements from this resource to create a end of unit project for our Amplify energy unit. The students were excited to complete research and create a presentation instead of just taking another boring end-of-unit test. Thank you so much for creating this great resource!

Description
In this activity, students go through 4 different steps to learn about different types of renewable energy resources.
- In part 1, the introduction, students analyze a pie chart showing the breakdown of energy source in the United States to see where the country gets its energy.
- In part 2, students research different types of nonrenewable and renewable energy sources and list the advantages and disadvantages of each one. The activity includes readings for fossil fuels and nuclear energy and links to the different types of renewable energy sources.
- In part 3, students apply their research to make a one pager using text and graphics about renewable energy resources.
- In part 4, students reflect on their learning with an exit ticket (digital or printed)
This activity is self directed and great for a sub. The resource includes a digital google slides to guide students through the activity that includes links and readings. The worksheet the students fill out can either be printed and used digitally.

NGSSMS-ESS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
