Introduction
Students will embark on a journey to explore various renewable energy sources:
-IMPORTANCE IN COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE
-POTENTIAL IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET
Task
Research Tasks:
- Investigate at least three renewable energy sources (e.g., solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power).
- Examine the benefits and challenges associated with each energy source.
- Analyze case studies of countries or regions that have successfully implemented renewable energy solution
Process
-
Group Formation: Divide into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will focus on different renewable energy sources.
-
Research:
- Use the following guided resources to gather information:
Evaluation
| Research Quality | 25 POINTS | How thoroughly does the research cover the assigned energy sources? |
| Creativity and Clarity of Presentation | 25 POINTS | Is the project engaging and easy to understand? |
| Proposal Relevance | 25 POINTS | How well does the proposal address the local implementation of renewable energy? |
| Group Collaboration and Participation | 25 POINTS | Did group members work effectively together and contribute to the project? |
Conclusion
Reflect on what you learned and consider how individuals and communities can contribute to a more sustainable future through the use of renewable energy. Discuss possible actions you can take to advocate for the use of renewable energy in your community.
