Human Energy Needs

Human Energy Needs

This graph represents what percentage of fuel was needed to heat homes in 2021.

​Today we will be doing breakout rooms to research different forms of energy.

Breakout Room 1 - Fossil Fuels


Breakout Room 2 - Nuclear Energy


Breakout Room 3 - Renewable Energy


Breakout Room 4 - Biomass


Each breakout room will be responsible for creating a short PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation, answering questions, and explaining important things about each source of energy. You may use Edio and the internet to help you answer your questions.

I will set the Quizizz to student-paced so that each group can go to their specific slide in order to have an idea of what should be included in the PowerPoint or Google Slide that you create!

One student from each room will share their screen to create the presentation. I will need 4 volunteers to be captains of your room to create the presentation.

We will set some time aside at the end of class for presentations. I will give you roughly 25 minutes to create your presentations.

​Breakout Room 1 - Fossil Fuels

​Your Presentation should include 5 slides.

Slide 1 - Title slide with an image of your type of energy. Each student's name should also be added to the title slide.

Slide 2 - Describe how fossil fuels are formed in nature. Include one graphic that supports your description of how fossil fuels are formed.

Slide 3 - Describe one benefit of using fossil fuels. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 4 - Identify one con of using this type of fuel. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 5 - Make a claim as to whether or not we should continue to use this type of fuel in the future.

​Breakout Room 2 - Nuclear Energy

​Your Presentation should include 5 slides.

Slide 1 - Title slide with an image of your type of energy. Each student's name should also be added to the title slide.

Slide 2 - Describe how nuclear energy is able to create electricity. Include one graphic that supports your description.

Slide 3 - Describe one benefit of using nuclear energy. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 4 - Identify one con of using this type of fuel. (Check out Chornobyl or Three Mile Island) Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 5 - Make a claim as to whether or not we should continue to use this type of fuel in the future.

​Breakout Room 3 - Renewable Energy

​Your Presentation should include 5 slides.

Slide 1 - Title slide with an image of your type of energy. Each student's name should also be added to the title slide.

Slide 2 - Describe at least 3 types of renewable energy. Include one graphic that supports your description.

Slide 3 - Describe one benefit of using renewable energy. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 4 - Choose one type of renewable energy and identify one con of using this type of fuel. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 5 - Make a claim as to whether or not we should continue to use this type of fuel in the future.

​Breakout Room 4 - Biomass

​Your Presentation should include 5 slides.

Slide 1 - Title slide with an image of your type of energy. Each student's name should also be added to the title slide.

Slide 2 - Describe how biomass fuels can formed in nature. Include one graphic that supports your description of how fossil fuels are formed.

Slide 3 - Describe one benefit of using biomass. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 4 - Identify one con of using this type of fuel. Include at least one graphic on your slide.

Slide 5 - Make a claim as to whether or not we should continue to use this type of fuel in the future.

​Time for some presentations!
