Teacher guide for running an Energy Production Fair project. Includes timeline, pathway options, materials, group roles, and showcase setup.
Energy Production Fair
Summary
Student teams choose a research pathway, investigate a real-world energy topic, and present findings on a trifold display in a classroom gallery walk. Three structured pathways cover local energy connections, stakeholder perspectives, and energy source comparison, with a shared rubric across all three. Includes a teacher guide, student handout, and a suggested one-to-two week timeline. Works well for middle or high school energy units focused on research, collaboration, and trade-off analysis.
