Students will discuss the value of electrical energy in their everyday lives. Using a power plant diagram and web-based sources, students will analyze steps to the electrical generation process and research renewable (alternative) energy sources.
There are no supplies shipped to you for this lesson.
Lesson Objective: Students will obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to design a model that demonstrates how energy transforms and transfers at a power plant (parts to a system). They will also analyze and interpret data related to renewable and nonrenewable energy resources and identify patterns.
Suggested Teaching Time: 140-160 min
NGSS Standards: MS-ESS3-3
