This document provides instructions for students to research an assigned energy resource in groups. It outlines the task which includes researching the topic using provided resources, creating a PowerPoint presentation answering set questions, and presenting their findings to the class without reading directly from slides. Students are directed to use a note-taking sheet to organize information from books, websites and images found through library databases or their research guide rather than copy-pasting. Their work will be assessed based on the quality of content on slides and notes as well as presentation skills.
