= Energy Presentations = Prepare PowerPoint

Very few words

36 Rule: No more than 36 words on a slide

mostly pictures and oral explanations

include a quiz at the end of the slideshow

**__ due __** **__ Tuesday 3/37 __** The students were well-prepared. The presentation was completed and turned in on time. Students were provided with a notes sheet. || ** 1 2 3 ** || The students stayed focused on the topic and clearly conveyed the main ideas. The presentation contained information and details that described the main idea. || ** 1 2 3 ** || The presenters spoke clearly and could be heard by all. The presenters showed interest and enthusiasm. Each partner contributed to the success of the group. Partners were encouraging, polite and respectful to each other. || ** 1 2 3 ** || The five questions listed above were answered. 1. How does this energy work? (you may make a model or use a diagram) 2. What is this energy best suited to do? (i.e., transportation, heating, electricity) 3. How realistic is this energy currently? (**//quantitative - with statistics//**) 4. How likely is it that we will be using this energy in the near future? 5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this form of energy? || ** 1 2 ** ** 1 2 **  ** 1 2 **  ** 1 2 **  ** 1 2 ** ||

 * ** Energy Presentations ** ||
 * You and your partners will be responsible for teaching the class about one of the following forms of energy. You need to create a PowerPoint presentation (5-7 minutes) that answers these questions: ||
 * 1. How does this energy work? (you may make a model or use a diagram) ||
 * 2. What is this energy best suited to do? (i.e. transportation, heating, electricity) ||
 * 3. How realistic is this energy currently? (statistics) ||
 * 4. How likely is it that we will be using this energy in the near future? ||
 * 5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this form of energy? ||
 * You should also have a notes sheet for each student so they can record the important information you cover. ||
