Energy Project

Students have been learning about:

• forms of energy
• transformations
• renewable and non-renewable energy sources
• conservation

To tie these concepts together, students will be designing and creating an energy-efficient device for a clubhouse.  Most students will be partnered and will go through a design process using a graphic organizer.  Students will be encouraged to use recyclable materials found either at home or at school.  While the device may not function exactly as planned, students should be prepared to explain how it would function and be energy-efficient.

The project will begin either at the end of the week or early next week.  Sketches will be completed and analyzed in class.  A list of required materials will be created for collection at home.
