This worksheet asks students to list pros and cons for both renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. They provide at least two advantages and two disadvantages for each category, encouraging deep thinking about the benefits and drawbacks of each. Students then reflect on which type of energy the world should rely on in the future and explain their reasoning. This activity promotes evaluative thinking, environmental awareness, and structured written responses.
