Hydraulic Fracturing – Exit Ticket
Summary
Hydraulic Fracturing Exit Ticket
This exit ticket asks students whether they would support hydraulic fracturing in their own community and to explain why or why not using what they have learned about economics, natural gas, emissions, and environmental risk.
The prompt is especially effective after the debate activity or full lesson because it pushes students to synthesize evidence, weigh tradeoffs, and articulate a personal position. Teachers looking for environmental science formative assessments, fracking reflection prompts, or energy decision-making exit tickets will find this particularly useful.
Extend the Lesson:
Use the exit ticket after the debate or pair it with the Data Set for a short written assessment grounded in evidence.
As you have learned, hydraulic fracturing can provide economic benefits to a community, along with a lower-emission form of energy production (natural gas) compared to coal. Would you support hydraulic fracturing in your community? Why or why not?
