Exploring Alternative Energy Sources
Exploring Alternative Energy Sources
How can alternative energy sources contribute to a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy future?
Adaptive Perseverance: Explore and evaluate various alternative energy sources despite the challenges in transitioning from traditional energy sources.
Critical Thinking: Analyze the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact of different energy sources.
Global Citizenship: Understand the importance of sustainable energy practices and advocate for solutions that benefit the planet.
What are the main types of alternative energy sources, and how do they work?
What are the benefits and challenges associated with each alternative energy source?
How can the adoption of alternative energy sources reduce our environmental impact and address climate change?
Students will identify and explain various alternative energy sources, including solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass.
Students will develop a proposal for implementing an alternative energy solution in their community or school to reduce carbon footprint.
MS-ESS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.
HS-ESS3-4: Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.
HS-ETS1-4: Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.
