Hello Hornets!
This week we began unit 7. We talked about what life would be like without energy/electricity. This week we watched a 3 minute video that explained different energy sources we have used throughout the years. Thursday and Friday we evaluated 6 different energy sources and reflected on if they were viable (reliable and good) sources or not. Students read informational text in groups and took notes to decide what would be a good source and what would not be a good source to use in Michigan. Next week we will finish up evaluating the energy sources and produce a CER. Lesson 3 will have students begin in the lab building their energy generation model in groups.
6th Hour Homework:
Write down the advantages and disadvantages of your assigned energy source. Answer the question at the bottom of your paper: Is this energy type a good replacement for energy sources in Michigan? Why or why not? Then complete the Unit Summary Guide parts A and B only. I have notes provided for them here. Be prepared and ready to share on Monday!
