Energy: we are
constantly using it,
but…where does it
come from? What can
happen if we use
more energy than the
one that we produce?
Do you use energy as
a responsible citizen?
Watch this video for a quick introduction to some of the
facts you need to know about energy use and production.

4. HOW TO DO THE WORK
This is an INDIVIDUAL work, you have to do it on your own.
You can do a poster, a power point, a book, a word
document… you can choose whatever you want as long as
you do it clean and properly organized.
The only part of the work you must show to your classmates
is the main task, the questions are just for me.
