Research Part 3

Imagine your community has decided to build a new power plant to generate electricity. Your group has been given the job of choosing what energy source you should use. You must talk with your group members to decide which energy source you learned about would be the best option to use. Think about the positves and negatives you learned about in your research.

When big decisions must be made, it is important to share your ideas others so that people read about what your think. Some people will agree with your thinking and others will have questions about what you believe is the correct decision.

In this final section, you will create a project to publish your thoughts and ideas on the energy source you think is best. An introduction paragraph that states what source of energy you feel is best to power a new community.
