Introduction
Green energy project
Students are here to analyze and compare these energy sources, understand their benefits and challenges, and develop a plan for implementing green energy solutions in their community. What they have learned will be presented by the end of the class.
This lesson mainly focuses on a focus on collaborative research and problem-solving.

Task
Students have to choose one of clean energies such as wind, tidal or solar panels to work on in their community
Work in a group of 5 people
1- It is a group project
2-Search information and gather data through different means
3-Show it in ppt, video presentation or drawings
4-Debate within the class
Process
1- Students are given choice of clean energy they work on
2- They have to gather information from the internet, their resource book geography 9th grade or articles
3- During the working process they have to show their processes twice once:
first draft and final before 3 days of the deadline
4-Final version their work go through peer review where students evaluate their peers' projects and leave feedback to improve the project
5- They should create a a model if it is possible to create
6-Debate within the class tg://openmessage?chat_id=843522269&message_id=462365 file how to do it
Evaluation
| Project engagement | 5 |
| Peer evaluation | 5 |
| Project presentation | 5 |
| Prototype or model | 5 |
| Debate participation | 5 |
Conclusion
Through students’ research and collaborative efforts, they will gain valuable insights into how they can transition to more sustainable energy sources. In order to make them more engaged they should keep thinking about how they can make a difference in their community and beyond.
