Energy+Sources

> **1. You will be assigned to a group** > **2. Each group should define specific [|roles] for each participant** > **3. Each researcher is responsible for studying two of the energy sources shown below; one renewable source of energy and one non-renewable source of energy (scroll down for links).** **4. Use the following list as a guide for notetaking while researching your two energy sources:**
 * Part 1 **

> **1. Go back to your group and discuss which two resources would be the best to use and why. Design a multimedia presentation (Part 3) along with a written proposal, which shows your findings for O & R. Your proposal should include but not be limited to the following:**
 * 1) **How does this energy get its power? Explain the source of this energy form.**
 * 2) ** How is this energy transformed into usable energy? **
 * 3) **List and describe the advantages to using this source of energy.**
 * 4) **List the disadvantages to using this energy.**
 * 5) ** Where is this source of energy commonly used? Is Texas using this type of energy? **
 * 6) ** Is this a renewable or non-renewable resource? **
 * 7) ** How can this energy resource be conserved? Is conservation necessary? **
 * 8) ** How does using this energy effect the environment? **
 * Part 2**
 * ** Why did you choose these forms of energy? **
 * ** Why are they better than the other sources? **
 * ** Where can these energy sources be obtained? **
 * ** How can they be conserved? Is conservation necessary? **
 * **Are there any effects on the enviormnent?**

**1. Promoting Public Awareness:** >> **Each group member will be assigned a [|role].** > **2. After completing your assignments you should be prepared to share your presentation with the rest of the class. Please prepare for a 5 minute presentation.**
 * Part 3 **
 * ** Choose two of the following options to get your information out to the public: **
 * 1) ** Create a bifold brochure **
 * 2) ** Make a commercial (in the form of a skit) **
 * 3) ** Design a poster **
 * 4) ** Construct a model that best reperesents how these forms of energy are used. **

> **General Resources Energy** > > **NON-RENEWABLE** > **Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil, Natural Gas)**
