Energy Alternatives and Energy Conservation
a Problem-Based Learning Project about Energy and its conservation

Thomas Edison told his friends Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone: “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy.
What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” 1931

Examples of Presentation Projects:

* A fact rich video promoting your choice of alternative energy source(s) and
a method of conservation. Project info page. Be actions oriented.

* A set of 10, 3in. x 6in. paper bookmarks that provide information about alternative energy sources and an energy conservation tip. Each bookmark must be unique and include a way to save energy. At least one bookmark must reflect your choice of the optimal alternative energy choice(s) for your community.

* A live presentation (at least 7 minutes long) advocating for your choice of an alternative energy source and a method of conservation. Be actions oriented.

* Make an eGame focused on facts about 3 or 4 alternative energy sources and at least 5 ways to stop wasting energy. Be actions oriented.

* A web site providing a fact rich, explanation about an alternative energy source and a method of conservation. Advocate for it as the optimal approach for your community to adopt. Be actions oriented.

* A fact rich research paper that compares/contrasts two alternative energy sources and two methods of energy conservation. Conclude by explaining why they are the optimal approach for your community to adopt.
Be actions oriented.
