Powering the World – Student Handout

Summary

The Student Handout for “Powering the World” is the central learning tool guiding students through three interactive exploration stations. In Station 1, students analyze global energy data and predict consumption trends. Station 2 focuses on electricity use, encouraging students to categorize personal energy habits and apply the CER framework. Station 3 challenges students to evaluate an energy source using the “Three E’s” — Energy, Economy, and Environment — and craft well-supported claims. The handout fosters inquiry-based learning through a blend of quizzes, data interpretation, and critical reasoning activities.
