With a good grasp on the research process and fair use guidelines, students are delving into a project on renewable energy. This project compliments their study of renewable and non-renweable resources in science.

The Fueling the Future project asks studnets to gather a bit of background knowledge on various alternative sources of energy. Using this knowledge, students will choose one alternative energy source to research in depth. In addition, they will learn about methods to conserve energy and choose one to learn more about. Students will research their alternative source of energy and conservation method in order to create a presentation recommending their strategy for the community.
