Students will be put into groups of 3-4. Each student group will be assigned an energy resource. There are 8 energy resources, which are: Wind Power / Turbines Solar Power / Panels Fossil Fuels Nuclear Power Biofuels Hydroelectricity Tidal Power Water Waves Geothermal energy List out these energy resources to the students, then assign one to each group. Explain to students that a brief reminder of how each energy resource works will be given later in the presentation.
