Turbines and Panels

Students read a passage comparing wind power and solar power, then complete a chart identifying similarities and differences between the two energy sources. They organize their observations into three sections-Wind Power, Both, and Solar Power-using complete thoughts. This activity strengthens comprehension by requiring learners to analyze and sort factual information. The worksheet encourages critical thinking about renewable resources, environmental impact, and community needs. After completing the chart, students answer a reflection question about which energy source would work best in their community. This promotes application of new knowledge to real-life contexts. The activity supports understanding of clean energy and the benefits and challenges of each power source.
