Alternative Energy: Where’s the Energy?

Description:

Students will work in groups to research an alternative energy source. They will then prepare a five-minute summary of their energy source and present the material to the class as part of a mock TV game show called “Where’s The Chemistry?” In order to determine the winning team, the audience (classmates) will vote for the group whose alternate energy source shows the most potential at the end of the show.
