May 10th to May 24th - Energy Project

Over the next unit you will be researching a form of energy, creating a digital presentation and sharing that presentation digitally with your classmates. You will be responsible for not only learning about your own energy source, but also other sources of energy.

Essential Questions/Learnings

• What energy sources are renewable/non-renewable?
• How are different energy sources produced?
• What are the impacts (health/environmental/safety) of different energy sources?
• What are the advantages/disadvantages of different energy sources?

STEPS OF THE PROJECT
