Energy Bingo

What Does It Mean To Be “Energy Literate”? Brainstorm Write down your groups’ ideas on post-its One idea per post-it

What should students learn about energy? Building an Understanding about Energy Use ONE concept on each cup Stack them to symbolize the knowledge that builds the foundation for energy literacy Put the Energy Literacy cup on the top Justify your thinking

Overview of Powering Our Future Renewable Energy Curriculum Materials 3 modules 3 rd-6 th 6 th-8 th High School Created with the help of over 70 local educators Correlated to College and Career Readiness State Standards

How Will We Power Our Future? Think Pair Share: Where does energy come from? Round Robin - Define the following terms: Natural Resources: Renewable Resources, Non-renewable Resources Sort the rest of your cards onto the T-chart Think Pair Share: How do we generate electricity from these sources? Think Pair Share: What sources do we use to generate electricity in Arizona?

How is Electrical Energy Generated? Coal Plant Simulation (Adapted from NEED. org, Primary Energy Stories and More, A Cool Coal Story)

Where Does Arizona Get Electricity? Create a Pie Chart Use different colors for different sources. For example, solar might be green and hydro power might be blue. Use the template as a guide. Think of all the ways electricity is generated. Think about what percentage or fraction each source is of all the electricity Arizona generates.

$Where Does Arizona Get Electricity? There are 12 sections. Think in terms of fractions$

Where Does Arizona Get Electricity? There are 12 sections. Think in terms of fractions or percentages. Try to think of all the sources Arizona uses. Assign a value to each.
