In this lesson, students use information and graphics to prepare digital presentations that teach others about energy topics.
Students practice graphing data, research historical events, and analyze the graphs in this guide and the Energy Information Administration's Energy Perspectives booklet to determine and explain energy trends in the United States during the last 50 years.
In this lesson, students evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the major energy sources in an innovative debate format. Students learn about potential energy sources, then are assigned to represent one specific energy source. Working collaboratively, students develop arguments on the merits of their source over the others.
