Science of Biofuels – Reading

Summary

Students read a three-page overview of biomass and biofuels covering how they are made, how they are used, and the trade-offs around cost, land use, and environmental impact. Fifteen scaffolded questions move from basic recall through analysis and critical thinking, making it useful for checking comprehension or driving discussion. Includes a glossary of 15 terms. A good fit for a middle school energy unit or as a reading support for a high school biofuels lesson.
