Two Alternative Energy Activities for Your Classroom

This video from the CREATE National Energy Center features a presentation by science educator Greg Hogan. Hogan outlines two alternative energy activities designed for middle grade classrooms. In the first activity, groups of students create presentations arguing for the adoption of different forms of alternative energy. Hogan shares an instruction sheet, worksheet, rubric, and post-presentation reflection sheet. In the second activity, Google Forms is used as a worksheet for students to fill out while one group works on a wind turbine lab with limited supplies. Hogan discusses how Google Forms can be utilized to create worksheets.
