A comprehensive lesson plan for an engaging, hands-on activity on energy sources.
Energy Sources Activity Stations
This complete lesson provides a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to teaching students about energy resources. The lesson begins with a “Fact or Fiction” activity to challenge student misconceptions, followed by the main activity where students visit various stations (using posters with QR codes) to analyze the pros and cons of different energy sources. The lesson culminates in a class discussion, guided by the teacher, that encourages students to think critically about the complex trade-offs involved in energy choices. This holistic approach, combining pre-lesson activities, interactive stations, and post-lesson reflection, ensures students not only learn the facts but also develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of energy production and consumption.
