Unit Objective(s)/Overview:
In small groups, students will be
asked to explore and design an electrical power generator to
serve the needs of a small island called EdVenture Island. In
the course of this investigation, they will be assigned a
renewable or non renewable resource available for the production
of that power. Each group will prepare a report on that resource
to be presented to the remainder of the class in the form
of a PowerPoint presentation. After all presentations are made,
the class will decide which type of resource will be used
to supply power to the island.
