You may work individually or in groups for this
project. If you choose to work in a group, you must respect
the opinion of others and make sure that all the work is distributed
equally.
Step 1:
-Get together with your group. Decide on which alternative energy
source your group wants to present.
Step 2: Once your group has decided, divide the topic into different
parts so that each person can research something on the Energy
sources. Your group will want to do research so that you will
be able to answer the following questions: What is my alternative
energy source? How does my alternative Energy source work? What
are some Pros and Cons of my energy source?
Step 3:
-Get with your group members and create a PowerPoint presentation
about your energy source.
