Renewable and Nonrenewable Sources of Energy


GeoLiteracy GeoSTEM ELL

Description

Future generations should be sensitive to the
harmful impact of overusage of fossil fuels and its
relationship to climate change. Students should
understand that today’s use of resources determines
what people of the future will have to use and in
what environment—a healthy one or an unhealthy
one they will reside. Therefore, the essential
question of this lesson is “What is the impact of over-consumption
of nonrenewable energy and how can
we avoid it?” In this lesson, students will connect the concepts of
renewable resources and alternative resources to
possible solutions for climate change and global
warming.
