2. Concept Map of the Day Why We Need Wind Energy Renewable Vs Non- renewable Wind Energy Careers in Wind Energy Experimenting With Design of Wind Turbine Science Conferencing Science Knowledge Variables Competition

3. Renewable vs. Non-renewable Energy Directions Get into partners: Decide who is student A and who is student B. Partners:Divide green card set up into 2 piles, renewable and non-renewable energies. Partner A: Renewable, Partner B: Non-renewable - Take cards and meet others, under the sign that matches your pile of cards. Compare answers, and discuss/debate if cards don’t match. If cards don’t match under sign, partners have to get back together and fix mistakes. When cards match by checking with other groups and finalized with team leader, partners return to table and discuss table titled: Michigan and U.S. Consumption of Energy Resources, 2001 (orange) Partners need to be ready to report on cards and table with one statement on what they noticed about renewable and non-renewable energies.
