Kick off your lesson with these thought-provoking bioenergy bell ringer prompts. Each is a question designed to activate prior knowledge and spark discussion, from the evolution of cooking fuel to the definition of “biofuels.” Teachers can choose the prompt that best fits their students’ grade level and context.
Why do you think many people have switched from using wood fires to cook food every day, to the more modern gas or electric stoves?
Besides gathering wood for a fire, are there other ways we can use plants and animal waste for fuel to produce energy? Give at least one example.
What do you think of when you hear the word “biofuels”? What do we need in order to produce them?
