ESS3.2 Research

​Standard: 6.ESS3.2
Investigate and compare existing and developing technologies that utilize renewable and alternative energy resources.

​EQ:
How do existing and
developing technologies
that utilize renewable and alternative energy resources compare to each other?

​Using the website provided in the next few slides, complete the chart on this page.

You will record whether each resource is renewable or nonrenewable, is sustainable or not sustainable, and where is it available.​

We will complete one together as an example on the following slide.​

​Watch the video on the next slide.

Use it to add details
to your chart.

​When you finish, make sure your name is on it.

Please check your answers.

It's good if your charts has more details!

​You will create a poster/infographic to differentiate between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. 

You must use the renewable resources and the nonrenewable resources from your research chart. Draw a picture clue for each and briefly describe the resource.

There are 2 examples on the next slide. All you need is a blank piece of paper that I will give you!
