Energy in Today's Global Society
This activity determines students' awareness of critical energy issues. As explained in the overview, "without a deep understanding that energy is finite and that energy transformations are what give modern society its high standard of living, students today will not be prepared to make the tough personal and political decisions that await us as fossil fuel resources dwindle." It is intended to be used for grades 9 through 12. The 17 page document contains many activities, several assessments, and a laboratory guide.
